the dumb loving roofs are angled as such to let hundreds of pounds of ice accumulate and then dump them on unsuspecting people from several stories

This all reminds me of how neglected infrastructure started to kill people during Shock Therapy in Russia. The one story that still sticks out in my mind was when a kid was walking down the street with his dad, fell into an open maintenance line and into super heated water, and ended up being boiled alive. I can't recall the details, and can't find it online so I'm not sure if he fell into a collapsed pothole or an open manhole. Early this year though, three kids in Kamchatka fell into boiling sewage and died because a wooden walkway collapsed underneath them. http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/n0570-tragedy-has-three-8-year-old-boys-die-after-falling-in-boiling-sewer/

Architects don't hate people, that's like saying you hate ants because you don't take care not to step on them walking down the streets.

aphid_licker posted:This is gonna sound crazy but to the sewers absolutely have to be boiling? The Soviets experimented with centralized heating systems where every building in a city could be hooked up to a common steam line. The Russians decentralized it because it's inefficient, but they kept the basic concept by having mixed power/heating plants for a local area. Because the sewers are part of the same system, the sewage also has to be kept at an extremely high temperature to maintain central heating. Plus, if you don't have hot sewerage in the far reaches of eastern Siberia, there's a good chance it could freeze over.

No I mean cogeneration of heat and power, or use of available industrial waste heat for residential heating, is cool and good, but if your waste water is 80 fuckin degrees C you're throwing away a hilarious amount of energy and also, well, it's kinda dangerous. The whole execution seems very Russian.

I don't know everything about Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, but if it's one of the old Soviet "model cities" that the Russian government has to subsidize, they may have never been able to replace the system.
