They will live in the most disgusting commie block and prioritize fancy car over anything else.
>>28895683They are earning money in shady ways so they can't buy real estate. Duh.
>>28895683They adopted consumerism, but didn't take to the society changing levels of capitalism part, I guess. Same with Arabs, who are even worse. It's just the elites who can afford and brag about their cars there, while everyone else wades in unreal levels of shit.
>>28895683If they moved somewhere else, they couldn't afford the rent or the car.With a car like that, they're the royalty of the commieblock.So what if it was written off in some other country, "repaired", and now needs an offering of vodka left on the passenger seat to pass inspection.
>ai slop
>>28895683Some of those commie blocks are pretty nice-- lots of shops and restaurants around, easy access to a train going to work. Basically, only thing standing between them and the kind of New Urbanist mixed use development that redditors cream their panties over is a fresh coat of paint.
>>28895683Your car signals your status anywhere you drive it, your home stays in place and only signals to your neighbors (who live in the same shit hole and also see your car).
>>28895683That's because the commie blocks would be expensive to replace. Unlike the US where they build houses like they're the titular little piggies, of paper and wood and straw, that shit is concrete. The kind of Fuck You concrete that was meat to survive bombings, that was the entire point of communist brutalist architecture to begin with, the kind of building that will require actual men with construction equipment months if not years to remove, unlike US cuck housing that can be toppled over in half a day by any construction vehicle.And all for what? to live in some sort of new cuck housing that's gonna fall apart faster than this building? might as well just keep it and use it for it's intended purpose.
People usually care for the most expensive asset they can own. A new detached house is just an economic impossibility for a lot of east Euros, while a shiny BMW is in the realm of possibilities.East Europe also has a relatively good housing situation as in ownership is plenty and prices are low. Thats not an environment that really sees people dropping a lot of money for a shiny house.
>>28895683they aren't like this. they live in a stalinka or a new post soviet mansion. their probably an oil baron or other type of oligarchor they're driving a 35 year old mercedes. in that case the point is to look rich to avoid being the target of the commie block gossip.
>>28895683Niggers of Europe.
>>28895683They might be poor but they have class. Meanwhile you live like an animal with your chintz mobile toyotes
>>28895727This
But most people drive VAGs or crossovers hereIf you want to buy a somewhat sporty car, the only choice you have is BMW.Mercedes are seen as tacky, Lexus is practically non-existent.Many people own houses, being somewhat wealthy you will most likely own an apartment in the closest relevant city and a house out in the 'burbs, maybe further out in the sticks.People stuck with a single apartment are poorfags, and they at best can afford German Luxury from 3 generations ago.Is this how Westerners cope with being overrun by muzzies, they think it is eternally 1990s east of Berlin?
>>28895801>thirdie has to cram the U.S. into the comversation HahahahahahahahhaahRent free.
>>28895683because, despite how shit the building looks from the outside, it's actually a pretty good, cheap and convenient place to live in most of the time. Meaning that after a couple years of work even someone in a shitty wageslave job can usually afford a downpayment for a renovated one. You also won't really need to move out when you start a family since it's basically the perfect size for the typical family with 2 kids. >t. lived in one for like 10 years until i got a job abroadthey usually don't look that bad btw, most were renovated starting in the late 2000's- early 2010's
>>28895801>The kind of Fuck You concrete that was meat to survive bombingsYou have never seen a commie block first hand you larping nigger
>>28895683commieblocks are nice inside and very practical. if you think "these russians are like our black trailer trash", no, commieblocks are multiple quality of life levels up from these niggas, or as we call them, negrs.
>>28895683I would rather *own* an apartment in a commie block and use some of the money I'm not paying in rent to *buy* a cool old car in Eastern Europe than rent a flat in a culturally-enriched area low-emissions zone and drive a 2026 VAGslop that my boss leases and lets me use for tax purposes in fucking Krautistan.
>>28895683Same reason Deanos finance new A-classes and Bimmers in the UK whilst living in shitty 2 up 2 down Victorian slums. Most people don't see your house but plenty see what you drive. Also cars are a more enjoyable money pit than houses are.>>28895817Eastern Euros are infinitely less annoying to be around than Westerners. >>28895904Really depends on the commieblock. Some were built really well, others complete dogshit. I've stayed in commieblocks in Gdansk that were great (most of those old historic buildings you see are mostly post-war rebuilds and effectively commieblocs inside, but nice ones) but I've seen some completely run down ones in Berlin. The real factor is if they're well maintained or not.
>>28895683You are looking at outliers and thinking it's the norm. Most of the people who own "good" cars are either the classic doctor, dentist etc. types or broke niggers who eat raw rice(heating up water is too expensive) to pay off their car loan or alternatively the same broke niggers who went to work abroad for few years, rented a bunk bed and lived of cooked rice(they could afford it) to get a car when they came back.Most people drive somewhat sensible cars. VAG is big but it's more Skoda than Audi, usual Japanese ecoboxes are also common.
>>28895917Another common Poland W
>>28895683The entire world is like this.
>people unironically liking commie concrete panel blocksthe only good thing about them is the area around them, you usually have parking, grass and trees and shit.otherwise they are ass, you can hear your neighbour fart, and they leak everywhere
>>28896527they only leak if they are not maintained, like any 30+ year old house, and if you can hear them fart, they can hear you fart too so you are even
>>28895683Why are burgers always so ignorant. You know shit and type some bullshit. No, no one living in a shitty old commie minimum wage apartment is dishing out more than 10-20k on a car. I guess for your mutts a used premium German is a fancy car. Here it is a normal daily car.
>>28895683you just wouldn't get it
>>28895683>prioritize fancy car over anything elseBecause that apartment in commieblock is like $150k and if you want to move to something nicer you need $300k-500k while used Audi/Mercedes from Germany in maybe $30k.
>>28895683>prioritize fancy car over anything else.Which they can only afford to buy (shoddily fixed by someone else) and won't be able to properly maintain.
>>28896632>while used Audi/Mercedes from Germany in maybe $30k.another retarded burger talking bullshit.most cars on the road here is something like a 10-20k two/three liter German diesel. and no one's going to Germany to buy it because there's plenty here.Why in the world would someone living there buy a 30k car which is already almost like the price of a used performance German?
>>28896632150k is almost a new flat in the suburbs. What the fuck are you talking about. Those flats cost like 40-80k.
>>28896653>Those flats cost like 40-80klol my man, maybe 10 years ago.
>>28895961Is Poland's W in the room with us right now?
>>28896659Seeing as it's the top 6th country in Europe in home ownership yes, it is.
>>28896667Poland might objectively be good, but their landscape is dull and ugly, people are ugly only pro is their women are like free escorts, as in very easy.
>>28896667Yeah, those two, sometimes three, generation families living in single apartments in commie blocks sure sound like a W
>>28896675>>28896680I wonder where these sour grapes might be from. Curious.
>>28895801>Not understanding that its good for the economy when shit gets destroyed and then rebuilt, you have both created a demand and then created a new supply to meet the demandThis is why your shithole country remains a shithole. You want things to stay the same and just wallow in stagnation, it isn't good for you or your nation.
>>28896690Pretty sweet grapes actually. I've only had positive experiences visiting Poland. Drunk Warsaw chicks are great.
>>28896690From seeing Polish housing prices with my own eyes?t. polak
>>28895683Looks comfy Based Mother Russia Actual civilization 1500+ years old.Meanwhile 250 year old shitamerica dying fast
>>28896573>>28896573I live in a shitty commie buildingthere is a young-ish couple (the girl is an absolute baddie) that drive a bmw X6 (or x5) with special platesit costs 20k euros easily>>28896533what happens when your apartament leaks from the guy above you? are you supposed to fix his shit?thats the position I am in right now...
>>28896711no, you give the communal maintenance guys (or the building owner) a call, they go to the guys above you and fix their shit while likely giving them a stern talking to. that's maintenance i'm talking about.
>>28896711>20k euros easilyHow new is it? in the UK you can get X6 for £10k used. >what happens when your apartament leaks from the guy above you? are you supposed to fix his shit?This is the same for all flats.My upstairs neighbour had his boiler pipe blow and leaked water down through all the flats below. This is in the UK thanks to our shitty Victorian houses that every retard loves to talk about the quality of (they're all run on cobbled together bodges from 60+ years ago). I would have taken the commieblocs I've stayed in over that shitpile.What should happen is you should have a building management organisation if you're owning and a functioning landlord/agency if you're renting. Ultimately that is who decides if it's good or bad, regardless of what the building is.Same goes for cars. A fairly new, poorly maintained and kept car is going to be worse than a well maintained and kept older car.
>>28896725>communal maintanance>building ownerlollmao even
>>28896711>there is a young-ish couple (the girl is an absolute baddie) that drive a bmw X6 (or x5) with special platesit costs 20k euros easilyof course there's exceptions. but op's point was that everyone has one in a commie block.
>>28896778I am arguing with that retard, he said no one, so I gave him an exampleI also see a parked new range rover, which is like 100k probably idk
>>28896775if you live in a shithole with no communal services and privatized commieblocks, it is still in building owner's best interest to fix it before it becomes a larger problem. people move out of shitholes, and word of mouth spreads.
>>28896813what the fuck is a building ownerdo you really not own your apartament where you live?
>>28896814i own an aparament in the building, but i don't own the entire building, obviouslyit's either government property or owned by a third party
>>28895683>t. american nimby oligarch
>>28895683In the third world, there is either commieblock apartments or unattainable mansions, nothing in between
>>28895932>whilst living in shitty 2 up 2 down Victorian slums.I feel called out, it's true though.>>28896690Your Tarczynski kabanos are tasty snack, and I really like your Caprio Plus and Tymbark cactus juice. I grab them from my local Tesco from time to time.
>>28897237>I feel called out, it's true though.Don't worry, you eventually grow a tolerance to the black mould. Blankets over the sash windows in winter helps with the cold as well. Anybody from the UK who has never lived in one is a privileged baby anyway.>Your Tarczynski kabanos are tasty snackBigos is great also if you can find it in Tesco, I think Sainsburys has it sometimes as well. Marcepanki are good for sweets. Polish food is great, highly recommend.
>>28896948>t:
>>28895683Commieblocks are genuinely pretty decent to live in, though. There are plenty of commieblocks all over eastern europe that look like absolute shit on the outside but well maintained on the inside. That being said, buying a fancy car over a newer house is peak retardation.
>>28896573ah, it's good to know from a real authority that german cars aren't notable or respectable.
>>28897953>5k euro economy trim diesel 3 series from 2008 is seen as a normal daily driver>WOAH really???? yeah that confirms it all German cars are shit. That will help me cope that I can't afford a proper German.it's also funny cuz that economy trim diesel 3 series is jerked off to by American BMW enthusiasts since diesel is rare for amerimutts.
>>28895683everyone lives in commyblock all look the same form outside. only way someone knows you're well off is clothes you wear + car you drive
>>28895683AI slop but the reason you see so many photos like this is because they do it for the aesthetics. No one lives in a run down commie flat with no parking while owning a luxury car. They drive out there to get photos.
>>28895683i got i explained to me, eastern and southern euros dont have the same flex in housing so they look for cars instead. my cousin was into a romanian girl, and she hated how he drove a mondeo and hilux, they where poorfag cars in romania. dude had a 120k wage here...
>>28895683Have you never seen the US? You can see ridiculously fancy cars in the shittiest of areas. It's just what poor people do.
commie blocks don't usually look so bad, only towards the end of winter when all the snow is melting they do look like pic rel
Why do Eastern European poorfags worship BMW?
>>28898655>BMWIt's mostly Mercedes and they're always painted black (they don't black out the wheels like in the US though).
>>28897993i'm glad we agree that german cars are all for poors
>>28895683Outdated image. New one should be neighbourhood built by a real estate developer, dozens of same looking houses, plenty of expensive cars and one shitty road leading there.
>>28899459they're for everyone retard. people who don't give a fuck for cars and or are poor get some cheap old diesel bmw. enthusiasts get either a newer turbo petrol or an m car. rich normies buy new bmw suvs. moms buy used compact bmw suvs and etc.>>28898655not really. it has a bad stereotype for aggressive drivers. in all of Europe the new/newer models are just seen as a sporty alternative to audi/mb and the latter have been a shit show so people who look for objectivity in a car go for bmw.
>>28895801this anon is rightinterior is deteriorating but you can slam a rocket into one and it will be still standing. Meanwhile british pseudo-commie block has collapsed due to "gas stove explosion". Lets ignore the fact that the stove survived it's own "explosion" -> google Ronan Point faggots
>>28895904I live in one. Outside walls are 35cm thick and made out of reinforced concrete. You have no idea how hard it was to install air conditioning. There's like 7 holes in my wall where we tried and failed to drill through that shit
>>28895801Yeah, the old commie apartments are so much better and make you feel so much happier.
>>28895801TrueBecause a typical Polish renovation takes place in prefab concrete block apartments, where drilling one hole takes an hour of work and two dulled drill bits. In American "cardboard houses," if you want to hang a picture, you grab a screwdriver, hold the picture up, drive in a screw in 5 seconds, and that picture will hang for 20 years. And in Poland? You borrow a thirty-kilogram hammer drill, buy five armor-piercing drill bits, go to the store for a four-pack of Harnaś beer, kick your wife and kids out of the house, drink one Harnaś to warm up, measure all the holes with 0.1mm precision, put on the drill bit and turn on hammer mode. You hammer away with the force of a waterfall, bracing yourself with a broomstick against the opposite wall. Five minutes pass, and the hole is 5mm deeper. Another ten minutes pass, and you hit fucking rebar – the drill bit shits the bed, pissed off, you drink a second Harnaś and measure all over again. You repeat the operation; this time there’s no rebar. After an hour of hammering, you’ve managed to drill a 5cm hole. You insert a wall plug – it’s loose as hell. Oh, right, awesome prefab concrete – to drill into it, you have to move heaven and earth, but once you insert the plug, it magically crumbles out half a kilo of concrete, and you have to go to the hardware store for a bigger one. You’re drunk on Harnaś, so you get on your bike and go. You come back, insert the plug, drive in the screw – awesome. The picture is hanging. A bit crooked, but screw it. The only shame is you have to spackle half the wall because the plaster (well, more like sand held together by water) has chipped off everywhere. Well, just three more pictures and quitting time. But first, another Harnaś.
>>28895683That's literally me and I'm not even slav. Just invested in my house enough to make it a practical living space with little to no splurging and spending everything else on cars and projects. Been thinking about upgrading to a new place because I ran out of space for my collection of shitboxes.
>>28895801That isn't true at all of a lot of them, though. Many were built during postwar housing shortages and were supposed to be a temporary solution, designed to last 25 years, but they're still in use and in horrific condition in many cases. On the flip side, there are tons of 1950s and older apartment buildings still in use and in decent condition in the US, for example a large percentage of Los Angeles's housing stock was built between the '20s and '50s and is still going strong despite multiple major earthquakes in their history and so on. My parents' house in LA was built in 1932 and had no structural issues when it was inspected before they sold it in 2024.
>>28901200Only the very early ones built from french blueprints were supposed to be temporary, and these are actively being replaced. Stuff built from mid-60s onwards is explicitly designed to stand as long-term housing, and indeed does, both in the former soviet countries and all around Eurasia, from Germany to Afghanistan. Late Soviet commieblocks might be the best mass housing in the entire world, because they've been refined to perfection and cherished by tenants rather than cobbled together from the same 60s blueprints and left to rot like in most other countries. There are exceptions, particularly in sub-million cities in the provinces, but it's not like there aren't uncared for non-commie blocks elsewhere. I've seen one too many documentaries about housing estates around Europe coming down, always named some pretentious shit like "They tried to build an utopia, but", and it always came down to shit plain not being maintained. And that just shows that the building itself doesn't really matter, care matters. Some of the original french blueprint Hrushevkas are still in great condition despite being built out of concrete foil and having stupid shit like piping embedded in those thin-ass walls (stupid french didn't realise that temperature can go below zero).
>>28901256i just personally don't like living in concrete construction. and the monolithic appearance is pretty dreadful on a skyline. but i think the quality of people in them also greatly determines how tolerable it is to live in. but that applies to everything i guess
>>28895683They're strong armed into forfeiting their old cars in many european countries because of taxes so they're basically forced to be dept slaves for new cars.
