> Central planning of housing created those lovely soviet style "housing" block developments while the beautiful inner cities of eastern europe rotted away.

I can’t talk about the other points but as an East European I’d take those blocks any day vs the unregulated apartments being built today with 0 green space and where you hear your neighbors taking a dump 3 floors away from you.

Sorry, but I don't think you know what you are talking about. I actually come from an ex eastern block country (and was born under communism) and I can tell you that nobody prefers soviet style appartments to what's available today.

Hilarious. I live in Eastern Europe in an ex eastern block country, was born under communism and I can tell you there is not way you can convince me I don't know what I am talking about. Honestly this is a bit insulting lol.
