These buildings so often have paper thin walls, shit finishes around the windows where the metal lining looks like it's popping off, cheap popcorn ceilings, and you can hear everything from your neighbors because there's so little insulation. It's interesting because you always hear older people say that things were of better quality back then.
Does anybody else notice this in there city? Was there just a massive housing boom back then?
Literally the worst building I ever lived in (the one with the faux-brick facade):

It only seems that way because the crap buildings from earlier decades have mainly already been torn down so all you are familiar with are the few best ones that have remained.
