The costs of melting the frozen dirt all the way down to the bedrock were probably too high...i saw this construction show on alaska once where they dont bother with a foundation just drill holes and pour concrete posts (piles) for the building to stand on

According to the archives of Norillag, 16,806 prisoners died in Norilsk under the conditions of forced labor, starvation and intense cold during the existence of the camp (1935–1956).[11] Fatalities were especially high during the war years of 1942–1944 when food supplies were particularly scarce. Prisoners organised the nonviolent Norilsk uprising in 1953. Unknown but significant numbers of prisoners continued to serve and die in the mines until around 1979. Norilsk-Talknakh continues to be a dangerous mine to work in: according to the mining company, there were 2.4 accidents per thousand workers in 2005.[12] Since the early 2000s the city has been rebuilding itself and reshaping its image. Bars on the top floors of apartments are appearing and buildings are getting renovated.
There's no way out by car either, you have to take a boat or plane. The railway only goes north.
In the early 1950s, another railway was under construction from the European coal city Vorkuta via theSalekhard/Ob River, and Norilsk got a spacious railway station built in the expectation of train service to Moscow,[9] but construction stopped after Joseph Stalin died.

Piling is pretty common even in non frozen areas, especially marsh land.
but building on frozen land with no piling, and not even trying to get below the frost line, like they were doing in russia is short-sighted at best.
Welp... at least we'll get dope ass pictures from the destruction of that area 
This thread sent me down a 2 hour you tube rabbit hole yesterday. I wanted to see how people survive and tolerate living in those types of conditions ended up watching a bunch of documentaries on the Russian tundra.
The residents of that city have the highest rates of cancer anywhere.
The average lifespan is 50 years old which is 10 years less than Russia's already dismal average lifespan.
In the state where that city is located, there are 10s of thousands of indigenous peoples still leading a nomadic lifestyle. They are so good at surviving in those harsh conditions that the tepees they build out of deer hide insulate just as good as modern buildings.

Take a look into the clathrate gun hypothesis...
Essentially as permafrost thaws in these supposedly permafrosted areas, like latitude above 65 degrees, will melt snd release tons of methane and co2 which will exponentislly increase warming...
Same lands where all this nickel and ores are found
