    At least where I live new developments are crammed so you can see directly into the windows of your neighbors, there are fences between every fucking building and the only outside there is, is a parking lot.

    You have to walk through concrete plazas 15 minutes to get to a convenience store because its impossible for you to take a shortcut through another buildings parking lot, no, no. You sit in your own fucking designated area.

    Meanwhile commieblocks are spaced apart with trees between them, there is no fence in sight and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.

      Many also have quite a lot of social areas, shopping places and good public transportation. If they are well maintained, they are far superior to the space wasting, infraatructure hungry, climate destroying sprawling suburbs of several western countries.

      Man, I really hate current infencetation.

      Meanwhile soviet city building book:

      1. Trees
      2. More trees
      3. See 2
      4. Each district has everything
      5. Each microdistrict has at least something like school, polyclinic or kindergarden
      6. There are no bad houses

      and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.

      True. I couldn’t find photos of them on the internets, so if you want, I can walk tomorrow and take some photos. Or you somehow find them and post for lemmy to see.
