Those look very similar in style to the 5-over-1s being built all over the United States. Four floors good, ten floors bad? Or does “left-wing architecture” refer to leaving the trees instead of paving every square inch of outdoor space for parking?
5 or 6 stories are the most you can do with 2x4 construction bought from the local hardware store. They don’t want to spend the money on concrete and use the cheapest shit to furnish the apartment they can. There was a pretty bad fire in my state and they made the fire codes stricter on them. Faux luxury.

Yeah. The live/work/shop complexes are profitable. Especially when you can charge for parking, too.
