Was just using Live Maps and looking at Austin, Texas when I saw..a commieblock? It looks like it to me. It's not that big, but I've never heard of office buildings with balconies.. Anyone care to explain? :)

Yes, it's a commieblock

It's a low form of modernism. If that was a North American commieblock, there would be more burnt out cars and teenage mothers around it.

Then you don't understand what a commieblock means

Most public housing built in the US in the '60s and '70s was of commieblock style. They were cheap to build and in most cases better to live in than the victorian tenements they replaced.

Here is the Minneapolis version:

This is assistant living facility. Only very old people live there. Most people in TX and USA in general live in houses or 2 stories apartment complexes made out of wood.

Looks like some building from sim city:)

It looks like a scandinavian commie.

Minnesota. Minneapolis is next to St.Paul and they are both on the Mississippi river and it's up north near Canada.
