    Isn’t that China? (/j)

    Edit: I’ve looked up the picture and confirmed these buildings are some of the empty city that China has constructed. I’m not sure what all the downvotes are for…

      So generic, I’m pretty sure reverse image search is bringing up buildings from Asia, Europe, South America…

        These buildings have appeared in countless different places. I guess no one’s seeing any humor in it…

        Edit to add that I’d genuinely like to know where you saw them and inquire if you know any background on them. I’m very interested in the origins of these projects. I feel like I’m in one of the best places to learn from people with first-hand knowledge.

      Rather there was just one development firm, run by the state, mass producing the walls for these buildings to be assembled on site

        Pretty much that happened.

        The best fucking joke is that those buildings and neighborhoods despite being absolute piss poor quality are waaay nicer, roomier and greener than what capitalist development corpos build these days. So yeah, free market for the win i guess.

            At least where I live new developments are crammed so you can see directly into the windows of your neighbors, there are fences between every fucking building and the only outside there is, is a parking lot.

            You have to walk through concrete plazas 15 minutes to get to a convenience store because its impossible for you to take a shortcut through another buildings parking lot, no, no. You sit in your own fucking designated area.

            Meanwhile commieblocks are spaced apart with trees between them, there is no fence in sight and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.
