Photos of like, "depressing eastern bloc commie blocks" are funny for the same reason, those places just look like our house w worse upkeep

    Japan has both the extremely old / run-down multi generational housing (just look at most of the victims of the New Year’s Day earthquake 2/3 years ago) and plenty of “commieblocks” that frequently contain built-in green spaces and daycares etc. The former will be shown for it’s traditional aesthetic and the latter won’t be seen at all.
