The article doesn’t even mention stuff like planned obsolescence or the fact that a lot of new goods end up being destroyed to artificially inflate prices.

You do realize I grew up in USSR personally and lived through the collapse. Just because you live somewhere doesn’t mean you’re historically literate either. Plenty of Americans don’t know shit about their own history either.
Do you know what’s missing in your comment the fact that USSR had excellent public transit, and thanks to actual planning you didn’t even need to use it a lot of the time. My neighborhood had everything you needed within walking distance. Schools, hospitals, stores, and parks were all within walking distance. And when you did need to go somewhere, public transit was excellent. You never even thought about it. You just go to a station and something will come within minutes.
How’s that has anything to do with “quality vs. quantity of goods”?
That was in reference to your claim about people buying at most one car. Cars were not a necessity there.
