Great stuff, so much green everywhere and obviously not a single piece of advertising. Practically heaven compared to modern west.

My only complaint is that they're not mixed use and the density is kinda off. Folks should be able to walk to do all of their essentials and use transit to get to work in most places. A centrally planned housing strategy has the opportunity to make this happen.
Most of those had Corner stores or bike shops or whatever somewhere in the court, but the problem was that it was really expensive to keep them all stocked.
They had the walkability down (except for work, because it turns out you shouldnt live near heavy industry), but it was really inefficient.
The blocs in Bucharest are the ideal. First floor commercial, everything above is a two bedroom apartment. You walk downstairs and there's a bodega/bakery.
