At what point do Amerikkkans wake up and ask if DPRKZ can do this under the most ounishing of sanctions...of Cuba and Iran can achieve great feats under the most optessive bkocades and sanctions, then why the hell can't our government do a fraction of it in most crapitalist utopia USKKK?
Fuck it 
by 2035 DPRK will have queer rights on par with Cuba and put Republic of Samsung to liberal shame.
Beautiful homes with nice backyards you can have orchards in, terraces on the roofs for some good Korean BBQ and beers with the comrades, some baby trees around, very comfy and neighborly. I can see the kids running around playing and visiting their neighbors all the time.
It's ironically what suburbia promised.
lol yeah, when you think about it, suburbia makes so much more sense for farming villages than for outskirts of cities
The postwar vision of suburbs in America was basically trying to adopt farm towns to Americans who were urban professionals for all intents and purposes but still had Jeffersonian brain worms. So many problems could have been avoided if all of the money spent promoting that version of the American dream had instead been spent moving people into then-modern condos and mixed use urban developments, but then I suppose we wouldn't have sold as many cars or destroyed as many black neighborhoods with highways.
Also that would have meant white people would have to live in close proximity to brown and black people which is 
For real though I believe white flight is at least 50% of the reason we have suburbs with the other being a planned psyop by the then growing car industry alongside Eisenhower's interstate development initiatives having no other meat on those bones (i.e. funding for roads/highways but no concept of how people would live and integrate with those roads).
I'd point to white flight as the primary reason for suburbs (like 90% lol). As Jim Crow ended and the Second Great Migration began, suburbs started to pop up as redlining went into effect or PoC were scammed.
One of the common rackets orchestrated by real estate agencies, city councils, banks, and development companies was to offer black first-time homeowners cheap deals on housing in cities. They would collect the down payment, let a family move in, then ambush them with bullshit inspections. Of course, they'd find something wrong not disclosed before the purchase, which was then used to deem the home unsafe or get it condemned. The black family would then be evicted and the scam would repeat.
Real estate agents would then go around to neighboring houses and say "Look what happened when those blacks moved in! They trashed their house! Your property values are at risk if another black family moves in. Sell your home to us and we'll make sure you get a good deal." They'd repeat the scam again with another house, so now you have multiple houses where black people are moved in, their money taken, then evicted.
Eventually, the whole neighborhood would be black and the homes sabotaged and flipped so many times the houses were no longer worth holding onto. Whoever was the most recent owner was left holding the bag. At this point, white families moved out of urban areas into newly developed suburbs. They created de-facto segregation while making money the entire time. City officials got kickbacks to look the other way as financial institutions ravaged neighborhoods.
This was one of the topics that comes up when discussing reparations. Most of these families may not be able to prove they're descended from slaves, but they can prove how they were given bogus mortgages and had their entire life savings wiped out. Not to mention, redlining still occurs today, where PoC are denied home loans despite their good credit. And of course, the reactionaries obfuscate what these court cases are about, saying people are just looking for handouts based on being black.
Gotta love how capitalism so easily and readily uses racism to make money, truly nothing problematic in that, and now we have all of this because of it 
Yeah, it really does. I've seen some similar projects like this one in Venezuela, and they have schools and clinics, too. I imagine these do as well, or are part of a larger project with those necessities nearby.
That was basically the microdistrict idea in USSR as well. You built all the necessities within walking distance so people could just walk everywhere for day to day needs. It was really convenient and you didn't even need public transit a lot of the time.
The key Soviet development was to combine it with an urban centre for entertainment and admin. Otherwise you get a Milton Keynes.
indeed
Soil gardens instead of barren lawn wastelands is so much more useful
Imagine using water, pesticides and fertilizer to actually grow something you can eat instead of just "green".
Yeah they're gonna grow so much stuff it's gonna be great
i always love their use of color
yeah I salute the red, white, and blue 🇰🇵🫡
b-but they told me that under communism, colour is forbidden on buildings!!1!11!!1 (this is genuinely an argument someone brought up to me once)
¿But at what cost?
$240,000,000 per month for a good rent price if they weren't such joyless commies
Those are quite literally my dream design, I'm actually jealous
meanwhile, in florida:
I wonder if these still have the methane cave/burner system I'd seen in some docs. Also, surprising there aren't solar panels.
I saw single family homes on individual lots and was ready for the import of suburban lawns and car brain, but no, these actually look really nice.
I sure hope some American chauvinist lemmy asshole explains to me why this is really bad because Asians
It's bad because that's land that could have went to real estate developers and sold to wealthy families, DUMMY
Yeah, there aren’t enough strip malls with golf stores and massage places.
it's only for the Kims and their cronies, regular people sleep on the train after they're done pushing it to this village
Damn, how many cronies do they have?
6.5 million according to NATOpedia
26 million?
No you see they're just building them for the cameras, then they'll force people at gunpoint to live in them for the photo op and then they'll kick them out and leave them empty
This is a great development, especially since the DPRK has struggled to export the advances in 1st tier cities to the countryside. Looks like the increased prosperity is finally diffusing.
"Hi, we're from the home owner associations. Friendly remind that having so called "lawn patches" is against the rules. You need to, at least, grow clover or wild-flowers for biodiversity and nitrogen fixing. A patch can only rest for, at most, a year before needing to be put back into crop rotation. This is your first and last warning."
