Housing in communism

From what little I have read about commieblocks, they were a part of a massive urbanization project by the Soviet Union as a way to quickly and cheaply construct new cities around their booming industries using prefabricated parts. It was essentially UK or Yuropoor public housing at a much larger scale. From what I gather they were fairly comfy to live in when properly maintained, if a little dull to look at, again it's basically public housing, but what is interesting is the urban planning that went into all of this. The housing units were built in clusters (microdistricts) surrounded by greenspaces and all the various amenities that these communities would need (schools, kindergardens, etc.), and they were of course very close to workplaces. The idea was that this would create a more communal living space, and in a lot of ways it's pretty similar to more contemporary ideas of liveable, walkable cities that are becoming popular today.

Also suburbs are fucking trash and should be burned to the ground. They are alienating, far more depressing than any commie block, and are overall a tremendous waste of space and resources.

Suburbs are infinitely superior to everyone being crammed into apartment complexes. A series of manlairs is better than a series of cells.

I can only imagine that the overwhelming majority of jobs and economic sectors, from knowledge and art to service and even most light industry, have zero reason today to demand that people live in close proximity to each other. Thanks to the likes of computers, delivery, and rapid transit, the population and congestion of cities could be slashed greatly.
Cities today exist only as a necessary evil for the economies of scale in heavy industry. For people unrelated to such industry, most cities (and their ilk, such as suburbs and towns) could be demolished and abandoned for greener pastures.
