There was a necessity for them but you wonder how many people were/are happy living in these places. How do you measure happiness etc I know, but I mean generally. Once you're inside it's better I guess depending on what you have. I've also lived in a rough area but not as brutalist as these places.

Have you ever lived in them, not least been near them? Social voyeurism . Now my neighbors come from black war zones thanks. No more friendliness, these people are horrible. Come and live here.
