I don't know man. I grew up in Bulgaria, so those same buildings are all over the place. When I came to NYC in 96 I was so disappointed that America looked like this:

What were you expecting?

I honestly don't know. I was 15 at the time and mostly just seen it in movies. And living in a communist, poor country. So, I think there definitely was some glorification in my head. Not sure what exactly I expected, I just did not expect that. I remember the first day we came here, it was also raining and all gray. And it just looked so depressing as a whole.
Our buildings in Bulgaria were crap. Like a wall of cement on each side, no insulation, no heating. But we had a lot more open spaces and parks around the buildings. And our apartment had two balconies which I liked. Just in terms of how it felt looking at that space it felt much less oppressive than how building blocks look like in some US cities, especially in the neighborhoods where immigrants would usually first live.

Where? How? WHY?

On the "why" part - lack of proper planning and corruption in the 90s. Going from "peoples republic" to a proper republic of Poland was a fucking wild ride.

It's actually in Warsaw, Poland and the building looks like that only from one perspective.
Here's an article with pictures of this building from other sides: https://m.gazeta.pl/0,0.html?mtpromo=enc02qhrmp2x6jeqbmut4aguknatwqgqjlkdzagsriudrqmcz6udraocblesmjkfctyua5icroec2jemrmkd24gyjmudrqmcblmd34gybomtymg2ri

Either this, or I would say it is a digitally edited photo.
However, getting Mage Guild lvl 7 is a thing!

I wonder if building like this is actually worth it. I am from Central/Eastern Europe, so I am well familiar with these, but usually the reason was also to save on energy infrastructure, so these are always larger with way more apartments. To build an apartment bloc this small is weird. Maybe in a smaller village it makes sense.
