There's absolutely no comparison.

Panelak's here:

Pilsen (my city). We don't have much of these fortunately.

Beautiful center of city:

Ugly Prague:

Beautiful Prague:

Bratislava (Slovakia)

Ugly Košice (Slovakia):

Unfortunately, Slovakian's landscape is either rural or with panelak's forming most of cities space. There are exceptions to this rule though:

Most beautiful city is probably Košice:

Yes, the so-called commie-block buildings are terrible. The other pics you posted show it better, they a disgrace. Here in Brazil we have something similar: the COHAB buildings, which were habitation programs carried out by the the right-winged dictators during the 70's and 80's. They are basically like the commie-blocks, just smaller, with worse location and with almost no infrastructure. Thank God most of those have been reformed in recent years in my neighborhood.

Interesting, this seem to be common fact across various countries with various history, only some has this more prominently, while others only some districts.

I'll ask you a question Caio, just how much of this film is truth ?

There's absolutely no comparison. Well, maybe in France, it's not as important as the Eastern European countries, but there are some parts of Paris, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Poitiers, Toulouse, Toulon (to name a few cities I had lived in for a few months or many years) which are... ugly, grey, sad and terribly geometric - in the bad way.

That's true. There are such grey areas around major cities, and the occasional ugly concrete 70s-80s building even pops up in city centre. The difference is only in degree - imagine living your life in a place where almost everything is like that, and you have option to change anything.

You a foot fan? Well that's surprising. 

Well you could have been watching the football news to be up to date with the latest developments. 

Good to see I wasn't wrong about you.
