Apartment building at Humlegårdsgatan in Stockholm, Sweden. New zoning plans prohibited apartments at the street, which forced the tenants out and the demolition of the building in 1966. It was replaced by a seven-story office building.

   They didn’t make Stockholm nicer in the 1960s and 1970s.

   WTF? So they made a law which meant the people living in those apartments for decades suddenly had to leave??

   After WW2 people got really crazy, when it comes to architecture. Kill beauty, build ugly.

   I just simply cannot understand what is wrong in some people’s souls that they could look at something like that and think “that’s got to go“

   Idiots. Housing is pretty much always going to be better than office space for creating vibrant communities, especially when the alternative is tearing down beautiful architecture to build what I assume is some POC modern cube
