Across former Soviet states there are now-crumbling collective farms with purpose-built apartment buildings nearby, the apartments having been constructed for the farm workers. Every time I hear about one of these 'living at work' stories I can't help but draw the comparison, unfairly or not, to Soviet-era apartments near these farms. Zero commute, low living expenses ... but to me it's not any way I'd want to 'live'.
