    Its sad that many of these will end up posting memes about ‘communist housing units being monotonous or depressng’ when this is basically a shanty town. And hell the cost adds up to more than a shanty

      It doesn’t help that Americans are generally terrible neighbors, and sharing a wall with them is even worse. This causes people to seek larger and larger spaces for themselves exclusively, and makes almost all apartment style living infeasible.

      Gee who could have predicted that an individualist society would eventually result in everyone being a shitty person

        also that american houses tend to have thinner walls with less sound insulation (than europe, i dunno about the rest of the world), which compounds the problem. not that we dont hear our neighbors here in europe. we just make do.
