Typical Moscow 'socialistic' houses were 5- 9- or 16-floors, with some space between them. Depending on density, availability of schools, etc they were more or less livable and very boring.
The photo, in contrast, shows tightly coupled ~30 floor houses. Districts like this could be found in nowadays very capitalistic 'New Moscow' and I call it a recipe for disaster.

@celesteh I'd love a balcony, but would def favor an apartment with no direct outdoor access, rather than direct outdoor access with no apartment.
@celesteh
It's ignorance, I think.

@celesteh Oh, and keep in mind that under socialism we typically don't have benches at all.
