Europe is covered in rotten brutalist social housing just like this? From the economically dead east where they are mostly empty and falling apart to the coasts of the mediterranean where warm climate, the occasional lick of paint and airbnb tourism keep them going another year before inevitable redevelopment to the crime, drugs and black mould no go zones of scotland and london. Everywhere they are they are failing.

I mean ... I speak as somebody who likes brutalist architecture. They just don't work socially. They are all being redeveloped because high population density means high property values which results in high 'quality' homes (whatever that measure of quality is).

Real world poor people are unable to value time so they'll still get more normal housing. It'll just be a three hour bus ride away from where they work.
