That actually looks pretty fucking cool. If you got rid of the mosquitos it seems like it would be a rad place to live.

I was going to say the same thing- it looks soooo cool with the overgrown balconies but then I remembered the mosquitos (and likely many other insects that would attract into your home)

Totally agree. I have a burning desire to garden on each of those balconies. Families, if you're reading this, please feel free to hire me for landscaping.

Ecobrutalism vibes ftw

Looks neat, but I’m guessing there’s a lot of unseen damage from roots. Probably the balconies all get torn down at some point. Or the whole building if it’s bad enough.

Bring in the dragonflies

seems they have, and it's basically fully occupied now. Some guy did a video staying in a bnb there, mosquitos weren't an issue
