    As someone who lives in a former communist country, I can tell you that “commie blocks” most definitely don’t fix homelessness.

      As someone who’s from a former Communist country, the downfall of communism was met with a dramatic rise in homelessness.

      But you probably shouldn’t trust a random person on lemmy saying “as someone from Communist country”, this info easily verifiable with a web search.

        I agree, the fall of the Soviet Union caused a sharp rising in homelessness. I disagree that Khrushchevkas are the solution for homelessness.
