This article just popped up in my feed...no doubt because of my commie sympathizing(teehee).

Seriously, what struck me is the similarities between Soviet proletariat housing and the same kind of brick row and tenament housing that exist in the US in every manufacturing, steel mill, mining towns all across the country that are still around today.

Form follows function???

To take it a step further, why not compare what Leningrad and Stalingrad looked like in 1988 and compare it to what downtown Detroit and Baltimore, to name two cities that have been in Democrat hands for decades, look like now.

As for your original point, it's bullshit. I've been behind the wall. It was poverty central. Your small picture of American life with the tiny row houses is overshadowed by the millions who live in loftier digs. You may have noticed it in your day to day life.

I do have some first hand experience with this... well, USSR itself was undone in my teens, but I also did work within architecture design a bit. Still have to read the article to see what spin it's in and on to comment meaningfully, but this is the last day I can safely go on river ice and have few trees to trim.
