I live in a very aesthetically similar complex (big advantage--parking is in lots, not smeared in front of every apartment)

There is a virtually identical complex across the street from mine. Another next to it. Another behind mine, walled off b/c it's poorer.

Acadian Nationalist priorities include burning these to the ground and converting to woodland or farmland as appropriate.

*Apartment* housing, even more than other types, belongs *in the downtown itself.* These complexes are invariably in the middle of nowhere.

Lots of those in the Midwest too, dislike them quite a bit

they're not even necessarily bad to live in (depends a lot on the neighbors), they're just so hideous to look at

Yeah I mean it's an efficient use of space, but very unattractive. I still don't buy though that good design has to be expensive.

it's not even an efficient use of space! so much potentially park-like land is chewed up in shitty "green space" with this model...

Good point. I was thinking in terms of internal living space but yeah the outdoor space is kind of trashed.
