I’d stay in a kruschevski tbh but I’m also weird and find them fascinating

I recently moved to a German city that, whenever I mention it, is described as “ooh it’s such a beautiful city!” because it wasn’t bombed to shreds in the war and a lot of buildings are from 1900ish and older.
Honestly I would rather prefer to live in a building like the post. The apartments often are cut more efficiently and fit better for a family. Yeah, the outside isn’t as appealing as around here but I don’t live on the outside of my house, I live inside of it, so I barely care about its outsides. The other side effect of eastern blocks is that the density per square km is amazingly high. This also leads to supermarkets etc being everywhere. (I am, of course, making generalizations here.)
Of course I need to say that the energy efficiency in old eastern block houses is also awful.
But I don’t want to bash the 1900s houses too much. At least they have 4-5 levels. That’s still better than single family homes in the middle of a city (talking about you, pipe smoking guy in the middle of Sendling).

Painting the outside different colors would help the appeal of the buildings, at the cost of whatever thermal efficiency the color white provides

It usually can be improved with additional insulation.

We live in a house from 1900 and thanks to a lot of work our apartment has the energy efficiency grade A to B. We will also get a heat pump in the next few years. We have PV on the roof (I’m not sure what for right now), our windows are triple glassed and we have two heat exchangers thingy that sucks air from the outside and pushes inside air out. A couple of months ago they also insulated the roof of the basement better.
We are very lucky that the owner is behind all these works. Most aren’t, but it is to show that you’re absolutely right and how much can be done and improved. (However, I still don’t like the cut of the apartment or not having an elevator/barrier free access to the basement. And the bugs.)

The one time copypasting a bunch of building was actually a good idea

Isn’t that China? (/j)

I’ve seen buildings in Iceland that look like this.
Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
These buildings have appeared in countless different places. I guess no one’s seeing any humor in it…
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
So generic, I’m pretty sure reverse image search is bringing up buildings from Asia, Europe, South America…
Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
I’m sure you’re right. Apparently no one else saw the humor in it…

Same development firm got the contract?
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Rather there was just one development firm, run by the state, mass producing the walls for these buildings to be assembled on site
riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Pretty much that happened.
The best fucking joke is that those buildings and neighborhoods despite being absolute piss poor quality are waaay nicer, roomier and greener than what capitalist development corpos build these days. So yeah, free market for the win i guess.
uis@lemm.ee 9 months ago
It’s like they were built fast, cheaply and durable.

Y’all be making fun of this, not realizing that you don’t hear about a housing crisis in Eastern Europe
Louisoix@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Lucky you if you haven’t heard of it.
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
And yet there definitely is one.
Pringles@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Maybe once they run out of apartment buildings, but that’s not gonna happen any time soon.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
It’s over here in North America too. Houses are unaffordable almost everywhere you go.
Woo the capitalistic hellscape we always wanted
redisdead@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The crisis is having to live in these rabbit hutches for humans.
Factory farming human misery and suffering is what these are.
trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Eh, they’re okay
Much better than being on the street and you’re kinda exaggerating how shitty they are.
buzz86us@lemmy.world 9 months ago
And how exactly is that different than one of the same 5 apartment buildings that are being built in every single city in the US?
riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Am eastern european. There is a housing crisis.
