Russia. Great grandfather was woodworker(lost finger on job), grandma was language teacher(and worked in kidergarden for some time), other was computer operator back when it was specialized job(and I think programmer too? Not sure.), grandpa served in military until retirement, other died before I was born, so I don’t know much. And great grandfather’s family was basically serfs in the middle of nowhere without sewers, running water, central heating, roads, electricity and soviet goverment.

High ranking party officials didn’t stay in commie blocks that’s all I meant.

Yeah… Every time someone says how much better stalinkas were than hurchevkas and brezhnevkas, they tend to ignore that mostly party elite lived there. Unless city had no stalinkas, then party elite had nowhere else to live other than commie blocks.

Again, that’s what I’m talking about. If someone is mentally ill or has addiction issues so severe they are homeless then hospitalization is medically necessary.

How the fuck can notary can notarize selling home by an addict? They are supposed to verify mental wellbeing of both parites, especially seller. Not just home, but the only home! Notaries refuse selling the only home even by mentally stable and not addicted people for tiniest reasons.

I am happy my grandparents can’t read your comment. And neither can my great grandfather.

Nah. Both are brutal, but only one is brutalist.

9 story and 16 story brezhnevkas are commie blocks too.

We had to make a fire escape plan for our houses, with at least 2 exits… which I really struggled with cause I lived on a high floor, so no jumpimg out the window, and no fire escapes only meant I could do 1.

The roof. If yours flat. And even modern housing doesn’t have two sets of stairs per entrance(?).

• Accesability: The majority of commie blocks had no elevators, with the exception of quite tall ones.

Got it. You are talking about very old 4-5 story buildings.

EDIT:

• Renovations: Pretty simple - the apartments are usually owned by individuals, rather than a housing company, and getting all 60 or so people to agree to renovate the outside of the building is imposible, with both poorer people and older people stubborn to change, as well as alcoholics and the like

Wierd. It is much easier to get 50%+1 in “small” 60-appartments building, than in same in new housing with over 10k people living in 3708 flats.

These commies blocks don’t just look ugly, they tend to become a crime riddled dump

It will surprise you, but this is other way around. Hruschevkas have less crime than modern humant colonies.

It seems you misunderstand the goal of goverment.

This is your opinion of what you want governments to be, not what they actually are.

I am sorry your country doesn’t try or even claim to be social.

What is the point of not researching and having bigger budget, if it can’t buy thing that did not get created?

What a lot of negatives and hypotheticals. All solved by getting a return on investment and having that money to do more things with, including research.

So in the end money will be spent on research anyway.

And then on goverment level there is no such thing as copyright or patent.

I’d like to introduce you to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) which is an intergovernmental organisation that does precisely what you say doesn’t exist.

And what next? It can’t stop any goverment from ignoring copyright or patent.

Cute. Ok, just for this cuteness.

so much floof

Yes

Downvote, this is not an optical illusion.

But then anyone could take them anyway.

I’m saying it is necessary to achieve the aims of the GPL.

Which would make GPL toothless, but that’s fine because it would no longer be necessary.

But then corporations could not stop anyone from modifying their modifications to things like Lemmy.

I’m yet to see how AI makes #2 relevant.
