    OOP’s bro might actually explode if he ever learns about the Khrushchovka, how concrete prefab buildings solved the housing crisis in 1960s Europe, and how similar mid-rise buildings could solve the suburban sprawl festering in current day North America.

      you can make tall buildings out of brick and poor people deserve nice homes too every time someone says hey living in one of those things is soul crushing and awful someone goes oh so you want people to be homeless no I want free housing for everyone and it to look good and not reaffirm the class and poverty of those who live in it

        Did you run out of punctuation or something? Here, use some of mine: .........,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!???

        Despite what some simple minds may think, residential buildings are not restricted to being either high density commie blocks or American cookie cutter suburban hellscapes. Medium-density townhouses are all over Europe, but the regressive bigots in America created zoning laws that made them illegal to build.

    I wonder if he had the same hatred for cast-in-place concrete.

    I don’t like concrete blocks, nor bricks, when cast-in-place concrete is an option.

    If I could afford it, I’d build my house with cast-in-place concrete walls and floors, with the interior walls finished with wood studs and drywall. The problem is both cost, and finding an experienced crew to do the work. Some countries just don’t have contractors who know how to do it, and will only build concrete block walls.

      Monolithic dome house! Been a fantasy of mine since college. Might be difficult to hang pictures on the walls, though.

    I really want to say fake and gay but this checks out so much for 4chan that it’s surely real and gay (anon’s brother loves to smash but no woman was mentioned)
