And outside of historical usage and landmarks that have them already. Most cultures, religions and countries now avoid the swastika and only use the sauvastika aka the left facing one.

So seeing the right facing swastika is still common in many places in India, China, Japan and other locations. New developments basically won't see use of it at all with out EXTREMELY unique reasons.

Cause the Nazis literally ruined it for everyone.
