how is it like actually living in these things
>>225535840it's comfy unless you have loud and problematic neighbours then it's hell
>>225535840Comfy.
>>225536120>>225535983This
>>225535840pretty good
Its terrible, apartments are small, youre boxed with people around, in most areas they have gas pipes that explode all the time.
>>225535840Looks fucking comfy during winter
>>225535840you're gonna hear your neighbours' heated arguments, some guy "renovating" his apartment using a drill at 8am on a sunday, running kids upstairs, loud music if someone feels like it.
>>225535983the truth being spoken here
>>225535983You just described every living situation
>>225538230Not when this non europoor alternative exists
>>225538713yeah you can keep your ai-sloppa mcmansiona properly modernized commieblock in a good neighborhood cannot be beaten
>>225538451what's with the damn drilling, seriously how many holes do you need?
>>225538135>gas pipes that explode all the time
>>225535840I moved into my apartment 8 years ago. Was supposed to be temporary but I like it here so never left. Rent is cheap ($551/month for 43m2). I live on the top floor so no neighbors above me. Really thick walls so basically zero sound from around me. Grocery store across the street. Great view from my balcony across town. But you have to get lucky, some are horrible. My friend lives like a kilometer from me in a similar building but it's extremely loud. Even a sneeze is very audible from the neighbors.
>>225538230that's summer in Russia
>>225538787dwarf holedigging dna acting up or smth
>>225538135>>225538451I live in a 15kv makeshift apartment in the village I work in (large wood house) hearing neighbors footsteps and a 40kv Brezhnevka in a city where I only hear granny listening to TV on full volume. As long as the neighbors are pensioners or aren't drunkard retards it's not an issue. Hell we had non-jeet students throwing a party and families with toddlers with not much sound issues.
>>225538841Roll for a good apartment, he should install some sound insulation sounds like no one gives a shit about the unit so why not.
>>225535840probably really good I imagine
>>225535983This is a thirdie problem. In real countries, the apartments are of such a high quality that you can't hear your neighbors exist.
>>225538230venezuela is socialist, wheres the comfy jungle commieblocks?
>>225538841how the fuck it's so cheap?
>>225538939Not really except as something desirable. There's even an adjective "lyhörd" which means you can easily hear your neighbors (no English equivalent I think). Guessing in Norwegian too.
>>225536120Under the right lighting it looks nostalgic and cozy from someone who severed experienced this.
>>225538925He did, bought those panels on amazon but it doesn't help much so he pretty much lives with noise cancelling headphones 24/7. >>225538972Rent is generally cheap in Sweden due to rental caps and set prices.
>>225538819Some grandma forgets to put the gas on and then grandpa lights up a cigarette in the kitchen - whole apartment block wiped out, hundreds of dead. Happens literally all the time.
>>225538878depends on a layout. there are still k-7 brezhnevkas in some places in my town, that apartment project is a crime against humanity, you can almost hear word-for-word what people are talking about in their kitchens.the brick ones are good though
>>225539032God USA needs something like that, not raping your citizens with high rent will make more disposable income which equals more spending. But I’m small scale perhaps I’m missing the forests for the trees
>>225538878In this country, your neighbors will always be drunkards. Not only they'll be loud at their place they'll try to assault yours, banging on your door and trying to break in.
>>225538995At det er høglydt ja? Men dette er ei fylgje av dårleg byggestandard. I Noreg er dette noko ei i grunn ikkje treng å ense lenger, då meir eller mindre alle leilegheitsbygg fylgjer moderne standard med god isolering.
>>225539100surely it can't be that bad in kazakhstanI've heard of stuff like this happening here way back when but it was never anything more than a small/medium fire, not an entire block blowing up
>>225539140Inte samma sak som "högljudd". "Not soundproof" föreslår internet. (3) i https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lyh%C3%B6rd.
>>225538135>t. never lived in apartment
>>225538972Rent is fairly cheap here. Just looked at what's available in my city and around €500 per month in rent seems to be the average for a 35-45 square meter apartment.
>>225539218Och jo, det är nog ovanligare i nybyggen, men misstänker att det inte är sällsynt i Norge heller.
>>225538949russia is communist...
>>225539382show me the jungleblocks man
>>225539218>>225539248Eg forstår, me ville sagt "lytt" om me ynskjer å vere medt mogleg korrekte.Men nei, det er ikkje uvanleg i Noreg at det er godt isolert. Sjølv eldre bygg er på det jamne etterisolert og heller lydtette. Eg bur sjølv i blokk og kan aldri høyre naboen med mindre eg er på badet og dei trekk i do medan eg er der inne.
>>225539195I'm from Siberia. They don't use gas pipes where in Irkutsk because of the cheap electricity, but it happens all the time in regions where they do.
>>225539226I lived in apartments for some years in my childhood and teens.
>>225539032>>225539242I'm renting a room (not a flat) in Moscow for like $450
>>225539447Sånt brukar ju vara hyfsat isolerat. Kanske är mer att det är omöjligt att ljudisolera bort folk som drar igång musik på högsta volym runt småtimmarna på vardagar.
>>225539499But isn't Moscow like all capital cities just extra expensive compared to the rest?
>>225539400
>>225539595wow thats disgusting and not very comfy
>>225539590yeah, but I've just found out it costs here more than in Sweden (except for Stockholm maybe)
>>225539649Yeah that's kinda fucked.
>>225539582Det er i grunn ikkje noko eg kan merke. Eg forsøkte heime å spele høg musikk og kunne faktisk ikkje høyre noko i gangen utfor med mindre eg stod rett utanfor inngangen, kan som sagt heller ikkje høyre min granne anna enn på badet, til tross for at dette er ei blokk i frå 60-talet.
>>225539643Thus, russian commie blocks during winter are comfier
>>225539829What a vibe honestly
>>225539595>>225539643>>225539829eh, the venezuelan blocks look ok, I think it's more about the weather; being in a tight, enclosed space is infinitely comfier in wintertime than it is in summer
>>225538451>some guy "renovating" his apartment using a drill at 8am on a sunday10 years
>>225539935your blocks look cozy in the summer as well though not as much as winter but still comfy
>>225538451so basically my idea of hell
>>225539242€1.000 per month in Turin (8m2)Italy is clownmaxxing between rent and overtourism causing housing price skyrocketing because everyone turns their apartments into b&bs and shit like blackrock & co estate holdings.Some even rent garages and cellars without windows and the toilet/shower next to the kitchen fire and bed.Anyone who inherited a house or apartment in the city from a relative or bought another one decades ago can now make shekels out of tourists, students and workers if they live in a big city, lots of questionable places are being renovated for this purpose. Soon people will start renting ancient roman sewage systems, necropoli and whatnot.
>>225540144comfy €600/m
>>225540271€500/m8m2our commie blocks from state housing are all reserved for ahmeds and gypsies, shitalian grannies and shitalian families with 4 kids not welcome, and if a shitalian happens to live in onw then the local administration will make sure the lift won't work, the house gets occupied by some illegal or you live surrounded by rats and mold
>>225540119ours look cozier because old good new bad basically, and I guess the "lore" that comes with that (which is universal across all slav nations, so that's another factor I guess)personally I like wacky quirky chungus commieblocks the most
>>2255403897m2 in M*lan to enjoy the experience of being raped by some brownoid and pickpocketed by a gypsy on your way to homeit's likely not even legal to rent something below 20-28m2
>>225540271>>225540389>>225540566That's pure insanity.
>>225540144>>225540271>>225540389>>225540566brutal
>>225538772mcmansions dont look like that
>>225539829When I was a kid I used to look at pics like this and think they were so cozy and comfy.Since I moved out and into an apartment, I now feel nothing when I look at this.
>>225540937the central heating is the major benefit of commie apartments. So it's comfy indeed, but you should have normal neighbors, this is the main problem.
I've legit never heard any of my neighbours or anything from upstairs or downstairs though our communist buildings are different than Soviet/Warsaw Pact ones and I don't actually live in the "best" communist era apartment but rather average.Drills and other work you can hear of course but that's normal, luckily very rare for me.
>>225541204do commieblocks differ at all across the country? is the ones in moscow smaller bigger than the ones in siberian cities?
>>225541265soviet apartment buildings come in series (photo being 1-464-A) which could've been built anywhere but naturally capital would get interesting buildings while random shitholes get regular onesalso shithole substates like poland baltics borderlands etc would get more visually appealing apt buildings
i live in a 70s apartment building, not commy style because its pretty big (each floor has three homes, one 70m2, one 100m2 and the other like 130m2 or something) and the homes all have 2 balconiesAll my walls are thick, not a single bit of drywall used. Some stuff like the windows do need replacement but the building is in a weird state where some houses are rented, and others are privately owned so the landlords and the owners can't really make any plans to fix anything majorThe 70m2 apartment is like 250k-300k to buy, due to new taxes all landlords are selling the apartments now whenever a tendent moves out
>>225535840The quality of housing in the UK is generally quite poor, but interestingly, our version of gommieblocks built in the postwar period are usually of better quality than actual houses. I live in one and don't really have many complaints other than social alienation (there are 8 flats on my floor and every single person is from a different ethnicity - I'm the only white Brit).
>>225541204>>225541397Бля нaх зacвeт тaкoй нa фoткaх
>>225535840>how is it likeGo home
>>225542484so why not organize some get together around the holidays? i had one a few years ago, heaters, campfire and things like gluhwein, food etc
>>225542484>(there are 8 flats on my floor and every single person is from a different ethnicity - I'm the only white Brit).This sounds like hell to me.

>>225535840I live in Hammarkullen (picrel) and have lived here my entire life since 1991. When I moved out from my parents apartment at 19 I just moved across the yard kek. It's alright. Used to be a lot better before immigration and it has turned into one of the areas foreign media called "no-go-zones" even though it's just a bog standard mixed pop area. I don't mind living here. Got everything I need nearby and the station literally a short walk away.
>>225543549I do not understand your immigration politics. Instead of those people not your religion, traditions, education level, you could import russians, other slavs, and anyone that similar to you
>>225543627White people demand to much so the government can't use them for cheap labor. And they don't cause any problems so the government can't use them for political gain in terms of crime etc either.
freak boomers started mega upgrades with heatpumps, pv and added escalators instead of tearing the buildings down lmao
>>225543549My district won over some Swedish no go zone in terms of looks yay.
>>225543766It depends on white people. Russians work as a construction workers in South Korea you know?
>>225543952Do you really? I thought you are not known for construction working when it comes to immigrants.
>>225543845Post photos Slobodan
>>225544006There are plenty of russian builders, it's just way more cheaper to hire a middle asian ones. Now the work shoulder to shoulder in SK, Saudi Arabia, USA and other countries that pays well. Altoughwe have many serbian guys here because you have no visa and could get 1000 euro without language barrier
>>225535840It's nice, the only time it's not is when your neighbor decides to renovate their apartment and drill in the walls it gets insanely loud
>>225535840pretty good but the construction on mine was a bit more posh since it was a building for party officials and foreign dignitaries mostly, so the walls dont let much sound through and the neighbours are all chill. The only issue is some dude chainsmokes inside and the cigarette smell ends up in my hallway
>>225538772BODIED that freak
>>225544218Here you can do it only from 10 am to 11 pm but I know cases when neighbors just ask to not drills a walls to 9 pm for example
>>225540144>>225540271>>225540389>>225540566wtf, this is insane
>>225544247Bogati bugarin
>>225544316oh yeah there are rules and you can talk it out too most of the time but sometimes it's just a boomer subhuman who doesn't care about anything other than himself but there are ways to deal with those types
