First, not a coat of paint that is solid 20cm of styrofoam on the outside and that increases the energy efficiency of heating greatly;

Second, yes, they are loud and usually smell of sauerkraut but keep in mind these things we not made to be the perfect living space with all comforts, these things are a solution to homelessness and they are WILDLY successful in that. They are dirt cheap to make, making them dirt cheap to buy(at least in the beginning) and very space effective for housing large quantities of people.

So the question in essence is not would you prefer a commie block to a modern luxury apartment, but weather you will prefer it to being homeless.
