Please, not this again.... Personally, I am a lot in favour of communism. But some people, especially US Americans, have a fundamentally wrong idea about the housing shown in the upper picture.

This is often neither cheap, nor does it reduce homelessness. And it's also not the goal of that kind of rental homes to reduce homelessness.

That is just normal homes of average people in many places.

It's not "cheap housing for everyone".

If we are talking about cities, humant colonies are cheapest housing. Buuut kinda crap.

Don't look like rental homes to me.

Why doesn't it look like rental homes? I think it does. We had a lot of buildings built here in Northern Europe where I'm at that they built between 1965-1975 in the suburbs of our capital city when they built a large number of apartments during those years to alleviate the shortage of available homes.

People still live in them today, they are not beautiful but they are functional, and it's all rentals pretty much.

They aren't rental in Russia. And likely in most if not all ex-Soviet states.
