    We have way better taste and ideas than anything the USSR put out. But social housing in some former-bloc countries is pretty innovative. Still not fitting American values.

    I’d say just show them rowhouses of Philly, the duplexes of… Vancouver? Or actual building plans for high density housing.

    Americans are highly allergic to copy-pasted buildings (ahem… Except in the suburbs) and thats a good value to uphold.
