Holy shit that looks and feels depressing.

It's an interior shot from a forced perspective. If you're in a unit looking out on the city or at street level mixing with a crowd, I suspect the vibe is very different.

I'm sure it'll be different

I'm also sure it's Efron depressing still. I count some 13 buildings there, each likely over 250 apartments, each apartment likely an average of 3 persons, you do the math. That is a LOT of people with very little recreation area

Then the view... You can see a few hundred neighbors, and that is about it. I can make a fair guess that the other side of these apartments aren't going to have a much better view either

In the courtyard, maybe. No idea what it looks like outside this tower block.

From the inside window, sure. From the outside window, presumably you can see something different.

I also have no idea what the rent is in a place like this. Or the utilities. Or space of each unit. Or any other amenities the building might have. I don't even know what the interior looks like. Very hard to judge based on a single shot of a single wall from a weird angle.
