    Homelessness is definitely more depressing. That’s not even comparable.

    But apartment blocks like that are also really, really depressing. Humans are not built for living in a crammed cage of a building.

      Built? By whom?

      The issue with soviet blocks was not the density. The actual design was brilliant as each of these blocks had all conveniences like schools and shops within reach.

      The issue as with most soviet union is corruption and management incompetence. They took one design and applied to 15% of world’s land mass. So the house in deep Siberia and coast of warm Azerbaijan were the almost the same. To add society was so broken than no one actually cared for the vision these houses had. This is entirely system failure not a design one.

      People live just fine in close quarters - just take a look at Japan.

    Left leaning people live in gated communities of urban sprawl when they get rich enough, just look at SanFrancisco.

    Everyone becomes a nimby when their traffic may get worse or a shadow might block their sun, this is human nature irrespective of left/right.
