Some of these high-rise commie-blocks in Poland are actually pretty desirable. The difference is that they weren't built to warehouse poor people in some undesirable area next to a freeway and a landfill. They're often close to city center and have plenty of green space between buildings, including lots of beatiful trees. The communists had real city planning (it was easy for them, as they owned everything in the country :), so there's often a nice park next to the blocks that serves its residents, schools, stores and public health care are all within walkable distance etc.
