I mean, the primary argument being put forth there is that commieblocks were better than what came before, and that much certainly is true. They were well-planned out for what they were.

But what they were, ultimately, were cramped, cruddy 3 room apartments for entire families. Meant to be temporary at that, but nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, as the saying goes.
