drab concrete boxes with apartments that have bizzare floorplans and seem to be built for money laundering purposes.

I am so happy I'm not alone seeing it. Modern "development" is such a massive scam, in every country it seems like. It's the new equivalent of logging or mining barons- they buy up land, build shit on it, sell it overpriced, wash their hands and move on to the next project with little regard for long term urban city planning. They are creating forced gentrification.

    Soviet development that was driven purely by economic considerations tends to have all the issues of modern development. Well, except car centric planning, but we know why that wasn’t a consideration ever.

    Apartment complexes that didn’t focus just on economy, tended to be way better. And that is missing from modern considerations almost always.

    Still, there’s a reason pre-Soviet areas to this day remain some of the most sought out ones.
