    I lived in the panel houses in east germany in the 90s. They were terrible in insulation both sound and heat. You could talk to your neighbour while on the toilet. Mould loved to collect in the hallways as those did not ventilate. I could go on

      I live in post soviet block, it’s refurbished so it’s not ugly and grayish and the quality is sooo much better than my previous apartment. My previous apartment was from 2013 and you could literally hear your neighbour cooking, cleaning, talking. In my current flat there’s no issues like that.

        They redid the whole interior? Like what thickness is an interior wall in your place? Where I lived it was like 10cm.

          they didn’t, the building was just of good quality. I think it really just depends on the country and region. I live in a huge city so that might be why the building is of good quality… but also in my country these blocks are known for being solid.

      And I lived in 5 different panels, in between of other apartments and a suburban house

      And I never had such issues despite living in a much poorer country, Hungary
