1. High-rise building can be build in different styles. I like most Manhattan buildings from 1920s - 1940s. 2. There are a log of ugly box building built in Russia (and China), because it is a race to the bottom. People can't afford apartments in good looking buildings and can only buy in cheapest ones. Given how expensive land in California it is unlikely that developers will try to save every cent on buildings them-self.
