The best fucking joke is that those buildings and neighborhoods despite being absolute piss poor quality are waaay nicer, roomier and greener than what capitalist development corpos build these days. So yeah, free market for the win i guess.
At least where I live new developments are crammed so you can see directly into the windows of your neighbors, there are fences between every fucking building and the only outside there is, is a parking lot.
You have to walk through concrete plazas 15 minutes to get to a convenience store because its impossible for you to take a shortcut through another buildings parking lot, no, no. You sit in your own fucking designated area.
Meanwhile commieblocks are spaced apart with trees between them, there is no fence in sight and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.
Many also have quite a lot of social areas, shopping places and good public transportation. If they are well maintained, they are far superior to the space wasting, infraatructure hungry, climate destroying sprawling suburbs of several western countries.

Man, I really hate current infencetation.
Meanwhile soviet city building book:
Trees
More trees
See 2
Each district has everything
Each microdistrict has at least something like school, polyclinic or kindergarden
There are no bad houses

True. I couldn’t find photos of them on the internets, so if you want, I can walk tomorrow and take some photos. Or you somehow find them and post for lemmy to see.
Quality is actually not bad. Like yea, they usually don’t have modern wiring but since the construction materials used are insanely durable and thick renovating those buildings with new windows, heating, pipes and wires gets you like the best possible apartment. You will never hear your neighbours, winters are warm with minimal heating and that building will last for like centuries with minimal maintenance.
Seconded. When walking around my 60s neighbourhood in Poland I can clearly see that someone sat down and planned how the neighbourhood is going to look, i.e. where there will be a store, where a kindergarten and where a school. Not to mention a huge swath of lawn with playgrounds in the middle of the buildings for the ultimate flex.
Opposite of “ok we’ll sell the land and the free market will figure it out”.
Over a Million Americans lost their lives due to an inept Federal Viral Pandemic response during Trump's last administration. If that's not being burdened, and warned pretty plainly, by what has been, I don't know anything that would qualify.
The choice is life and death. These things are not the same.
I’m just curious what value calling either of them those things brings to the conversation. Tell me. Which side are you on? Who are you voting for? You going rogue and voting third party? Or are you gonna vote for the cop or the felon? Or, maybe you aren’t gonna vote at all, you rebel. So, tell me. What’s your poison?
The value is pointing out how utterly hypocritical republicans are. Here they have a chance to vote for a cop over a felon, but they won’t. They’ll vote for the felon because they’re in a cult. They never were the “party of law and order” or the “party of personal responsibility”. It was all lies.
I’m not a fan of cops, but I’m even less a fan of felons. Especially rapist felons.
Well, at least your heart is in the right place. Maybe, though, you shouldn’t minimize the only chance this fucking country has at surviving the next 4 years by taking the reductionist view and calling Harris “a cop.” Just something to think about. Maybe she can be more if we give her the chance.
And I see you have a problem with people telling the truth about Donald Trump and calling them what they are.
How was the gay sex at the RNC? I hear Grindr had a hell of a time keeping up. Did you guys like, rent a penthouse suite and have an orgy or were you all just darting between hotels across Milwaukee? You should organize better next time, Democrats at least know how to schedule their sex parties so these sorts of things don’t happen.
You think these people supported defunding the police? You gotta take some time and learn what groups support what, cause you’re far off the mark. Ds are the choice because they’re harm reduction, not necessarily allies
Let’s not throw a vulnerable group of people under the bus just to be lazy in expressing the absurdity of the situation. I got no beef with felons just because the State labels them as baddies.
Or store it in the freezer, and then toast it to thaw it. You’ll get toast in the end, not straight bread, but hey, suuuper long shelf life. Allows you to stock up too. :)
