They didn’t get to choose the apartment they lived in, they couldn’t own them, they were often basic with communal kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good thing they were free because the wages were low, and people were assigned jobs so there was little they could do to improve their careers, not that skilled people got paid much more.
Could I trouble you for some citations?
The horror, the horror. A building made a decade after a sixth of their population and most of their infrastructure was destroyed by a capitalist invasion and there was communal amenities. Also do you prefer to cook alone?
I mean... What's worse, what you've described, or paying 50% of your income for a basic apartment or else run from bulldozers as a homeless person? At least people had shelter.
Also all his statements are mostly lies. First was only true for a period where the country was rebuilding after nazi invasion which turned the most developed and inhabited cities into rubble; low wages are relative, they were low in dollars, but liveable due to low costs of living; assigning jobs was only true for people which didn't found jobs themselves (which was incredibly easy compared to capitalism). There was also possibility to refuse any job whasoever, it resulted in classification as "social parasite" and more or less frequent harrassment by militia, but even then they still get some help from social services and had free healthcare and weren't evicted.
