    That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.

    Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.

        You joke, buy people have been pointing that out for decades now. There is a reason the term Ghetto is still a common descriptor for these areas to this day…

          “Ghettos” aren’t just apartments; they’re specifically segregated (and not by the minority’s choice) and often substandard/impoverished/oppressed.

          Trying to equate ghettos with mere high density is nothing but racist NIMBY bullshit.

            If there apartment seems like a concentration camp then it is likely subsidized housing, which is statistically likely to be part of a ghetto.

            I have nothing against high density, living… the top commentor said their apartment feels like a concentration camp, and my point is that it essentially could be.
