Oh God. Limp Bizkit was so bad. I remember it used to play on the radio and my parents left the radio on because they wanted the news or weather or whatever bullshit. Every time I heard their music I wanted to put a knife through the radio.
Well, if you have nostalgia for commieblocks, Building Back Better will be perfect for you!
Limp Bizkit was absolute garbage, I hated it even back then when it was popular, and I'm a tasteless Philistine. Chocolate Starfish my chocolate starfish you fucking assholes.
Regarding commieblocks, oh no no no, it's going to be so much worse. The commieblocks I grew up in kinda sucked, but they at least had plenty of greenery all around. Our commies didn't hate the people they ruled nearly as much as the people currently in charge, both here and where you are. I keep seeing newly built apartment buildings; there's a whole complex being built like a 5 minute drive from my place that looks like a goddamn concentration camp.
Here's what our actual commieblocks look like: https://files.catbox.moe/8e6dtq - There's a problem with parking, because the communists planned for around 0.5 car per unit because they knew communism couldn't produce enough cars for everyone - but there's grass and trees everywhere around. If it's up to the globalists, though? I can't find a link for it, but historically there were multiple attempts - not just in the Eastern bloc, but in the West as well - to build "community buildings", basically a giant commieblocks that's supposed to have "all amenities one could ever need", so people wouldn't need to leave it at all. It was horrifying, and I believe it's coming back.
That wasn't a song title, was it?
I've seen something like that online. In Italy they're supposedly building them with inbuilt stores and pharmacies. Very strange, I wouldn't want anything to do with it. They have pre-orders up for them, I hope it's just a con to get gullible people's money.
I think the reason for no parking was that if you owned a Soviet car, it was nearly always broken anyway. Probably would spend more time at the mechanic than on the road.
What do you mean, Chocolate Starfish? That was part of Limp Bizkit's debut album title: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. I'm completely serious, you can look it up. I also have an extremely immature sense of humor so I consider that the high point of their, uh, performance.
Regarding commie block parking, see the post you're replying to, it really was because the central planners expected about 0.5 cars per unit. I got that info from a guy who personally planned one of these "suburbs", I spoke to him in person.
That would be because a lot of the "progressive" urban planners, if they were let off the chain to do whatever they wanted without question, there would be no cars, period, in their perfect cities. Only walking, bicycles, and public transit.
Its why I always say that every city I have ever built in something like Cities: Skyline would give them an aneurism. I have efficient mass transit, but I also have efficient road networks. I have well developed downtowns, but I also have well developed suburbs. I have office parks for highly educated workers, but I also maintain extensive industrial parks (including heavy industry like Ore Smelting and Oil Refining). I have legalized narcotics use and and well funded educational services, but I also have a well funded police force with a "tough on crime" stance regarding prisons. I also have a personal thing where I will build a Liberal Arts college, a city district with zero-emission housing and organic shops, and ban all non-electric vehicles, but I deliberately name the district the "Hippie Ghetto."
Trying so hard to be edgy that it loops around and sounds like a 5 year old who just heard the word "butt". I'm not sure what's worse, the title or their "music".
0.5 cars...so a motorcycle? Half a car isn't really possible, unless you drive something absurd like a Peel P50, which is under half the size of a normal car. That's a really odd thing to plan for, but commies are really odd people, so it makes some sense.
Commieblocks might end up being better for parking than whatever genius idea for deterring car ownership the COP26 cult are thinking up.
