Not sure why or from where this quote comes from. In germany and poland we have many such apartment houses that are very affordable

Uh, the billionaires don't see that. Even the millionaires can avoid seeing that.

What are you talking about dude? Those are homes with doors, locks, heat, and a bed. Compared to a tent?

The presence of picture 1 in no way prevents the presence of picture 2.

To be fair new social housing looks like this:

Not enough trees and first batch was mostly single-room(as in one bedroom, one kitchen, one toilet and one bathroom in appartment), but better than humant colony.

I really like russian appartement complexs, there is always green surrounding the buildings...I hate russia though

I'm from eastern Europe and those green spaces are usually not very well managed. And they also end up looking kinda sad when you live there.

Rusty playgrounds, plants not managed and growing all over the place in a not very aesthetically pleasing way, completely destroyed or very quickly patched up walkways.

I do think it's still better than the American suburbs, but it could be so so much better if cities invested more into making these areas enjoyable to be in.
