Not sure where u got that from.
But what it did have - you could walk everywhere - any lake, any shore any seafront is public. Medical system for everyone. Housing for everyone.
Yes - light industry had issues.

How was the housing? Did some people get a nicer house than others? How was that decided? If you had another kid and needed more space what would happen? I generally have no idea. I saw pics of some crappy apartments but I would love to know what it was really like for most people

How was decided? By number of children. 1 kid - 2br apartment, 2 kids - 3 bedroom apartment.
There was also wait list. No - I wouldn’t say housing was different.
I find that USSR housing much better than what I live in now in US.
One thing they really fucked up planning is parking - noone knew everyone would drive a car in 30 years
