as far as playing into the stereotype part of the comment goes, i meant with you bringing up apartment blocks being "administered directly by the central government", which i dont think is actually what happened unless im just totally offbase. as far as the ugly aparment blocks goes, it just seems like a weird way to frame it, the common anticommunist narrative is that they just built these apartments like this because communists are souless, and to even use that kind of language helps play into it imo, this is more semantic but i think changing "ugly" to "plain" or "dull" and making sure to include they were in response to mass housing destruction
