Homelessness is definitely more depressing. That’s not even comparable.
But apartment blocks like that are also really, really depressing. Humans are not built for living in a crammed cage of a building.

Built? By whom? The issue with soviet blocks was not the density. The actual design was brilliant as each of these blocks had all conveniences like schools and shops within reach. The issue as with most soviet union is corruption and management incompetence. They took one design and applied to 15% of world’s land mass. So the house in deep Siberia and costs of warm Azerbaijan were the same. People live just fine in close quarters - just take a look at Japan.

I’d love to live in an apartment block like that. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

I see absolutely nothing depressing about them. I would even love to live there.
