I live in north-east Germany in one of these Blocks (it was firmly renovated tho). It's actually not bad. Most of them are build in Horseshoe shape so you have small parks inside. But it's nearly impossible to hang anything to the wall without proper power tools. EDIT: typos

Yes, but since the wall isn't paper you can hang really heavy stuff on your walls. I have a massive ghettoblaster sitting on a wooden board over my desk ๐Ÿฅฐ

Want to drill a hole? SDS plus and a good drill (more like two) is a bare minimum.

But you can hear your neighbors snoring.

Brought to you by capitalism. Look at pictures of what those places looked like under communism.

Huh? I just wanted to say these blocks are not bad to live in. I belive in social market economy. Capitalism is a consuming flame, let's put it in a furnace made out of rules and regulations and put it to work.
