Wow - were socialists or communists involved in the planning of that?

As if capitalists have never been in the business of making money on contracts for social housing :D
Google fu tells me that is Mexico city suburbs..

I think it was some failed venture but not sure.
It's definitely not as spatially-efficient as those vertical Russian/US NYC project apartments but maybe more 'open'.

Some other Mexico City neighborhoods might look 'worse' when multiplied by miles of square roads.
(The alternative spectrum would be Rio de Janeiro favela chaos up in the hills.)

We sit in moving boxes daily amongst all the other moving boxes during our daily commutes and consider it 'normal'.

Even with a measly 20 square feet of front yard to customize...a kids park nearby, a 'nature' area within reach, and a communal space to congregate, might make it almost 'livable'. It should have been broken up into smaller pieces imo. But everybody still knows their neighbors and what is going on. And that's what makes the chickens domesticated.

I was working on a film in Albuquerque and having a beer at a tavern on my day off.

They had a rugby game on TV from NZ and the guy next to me (early 50's) was explaining the finer points of the game. I asked him if he still played and he said "My job has taken me to different places for the last 30 years. Whenever I come to a new place I join the local rugby league. That way I've immediately got a bunch of faithful friends to drink with and will have my back in a bar fight".

Seemed like sound advice to me.

He looks like the guy in the "Awake" commercial.
