Peaceful residents used to live here... now they are no longer peaceful, but want to get a just revenge...The war will come back to visit all Russians...in their airfields, in their factories, in the streets of their cities, they will die in their beds....vengeance will catch them....

Apartment building in Warsaw, Poland, June 2023

COUNT them - Oddo has planned for SIX floors - only 2 of which are partially buried.

This monstrosity would rise 157 feet above the ground at its highest relative to the sloping ground. It would be almost 70 feet high at the other end. The largest extent of this Huge Block would tower over the HOA facilities across the street…!

Squeezed into this single towering block would be 300 ‘luxury’ apartments…! After all what doesn’t scream luxury about miles long corridors encased in “synthetic stone veneer” and “cement fiberboard”…?

Could you blame the tenants for wanting to leave this prison like compound - especially when they (some of them) could see the beautiful Cedar Creek park-like setting all around them…. ?!

Apartment House

Gerald Raftery

A filing-cabinet of human lives

Where people swarm like bees in tunneled hives,

Each to his own cell in the towered comb,

Identical and cramped – we call it home.

A street in one of the big Russian cities (it is not even necessary to name the city, such poorly maintained areas can be easily found in any of them): No matter how strange it is, there are always fools who consider Russia is a "great power"! The real Russia is based on lies, fraud, theft, robbery and violence! Image source: Russian Embassy, SWE - пародийный аккаунт
