- newby 5y agoWell... I am glad that nowadays they often paint "paneláky" with some vivid colors. When I think about cold and gray winter days surrounded by huge blocks of cold and gray concrete - it is like personification of depression for me. And now there is usually lawn and some trees but I remember when we moved into one of then new communist housing projects (how would you translate "sídliště"?) when I was a kid - there was nothing nice to look at, just mud and concrete.
- kvgr 5y agoI would be happy if they painted them in less vivid colors. Say you have 4 big panel buildings. Each has its owners association. Each one sets different color from different color pallet. You end up with heaven 1 blue, 1 army green/shitbrown, 1 bright green/yellow and 1 red buildings next to each other. The structure is massive and if you put different colors that dont match it is horrible pain for brain.
