>People hate om commie blocks
people tend to hate on the decades old, usually cheap because under heavily financial constraints Eastern bloc version, but Finland relevant to the topic of the thread to this day is heavily inspired by that kind of architecture, and a lot of modern neighborhoods being built are basically the same thing... just nice and with a bit more cash on hand.[1]
It's an eminently sane way to house people, and I'm pretty certain a lot of people everywhere would take a nice, central apartment if they could actually see that it cuts their rent and energy bills in half. In places that are used to sprawl and high costs there's just too much inertia.

- enaaem 2y agoLooks great. I have heard Finland has very affordable housing. Yeah I do agree we should build better housing now than post WW2 economies. The main point I want to make is that affordable housing is already solved.
