      They took over the old East German blocks, but also build new, modern houses.

      The blocks are also far less bleak than they might appear. Usually the surroundings are pretty green and all buildings have been renovated.

        Ahh yes that’s the same model that was adopted here in CZ. 1/3 of the population lives in commie blocks and those were also mostly made into housing co-ops.
