I'm from Poland.

I’m talking Soviet-style, grey concrete commieblocks

So the commieblocks are always:

  • few minutes walk from school, kindergarten, grocery, doctor's office, post, dentist and bus stops
  • sane distance from another block
  • either surrounded by good greenery, or next to a park
  • surprisingly good quality
  • small elevator
  • little parking spaces

Vs "modern" blocks:

  • large elevator
  • the blocks are so close, if you open your window you could pee in the neighbours coffee cup
  • usually surrounded by pavement, cement, or car parking
  • better at noise reduction
  • you're more likely to need a car to go to doctor's office or drop your kids off, or go to the grocer.

To me the ideal is the commie era urban planning with modern techniques, but that's uncommon.

in Lithuania we call commie block neighbourhood as "sleeping neighbourhood" since they were built far away from industrial areas where you would do your work and come back to sleep and nothing else. Many of these places also lack other infrastructure besides schools. But i agree with you on everything you listed
