    Housing is housing and I think Bulgaria has more than large housing development as it has a rich history AFAIK.

    Nationalism sucks. Struggling against nationalism doesn’t work by attacking the nation though, but by attacking the nationalists.

    internet users will see high density housing that allows for more community and green space than their suburban homes and call it ugly

  • Yeah, it’s too shabby for you, but many someones grew up there an have emotional ties to the place. Not everyone wants to, or can, live in a nice suburb, on 1/4 acre of lawn.

    Also, I bet that in most of these cases, they’re not being told that the building is being updated, that the state will pay for at least some of their interrim living inconvenience, and that they’re guaranteed an appartment when the reno is done, at marginal cost. No, they’re almost certainly being booted out with token compensation in order that more expensive appartments can be built which the old residents have absolutely no chance of affording.
