Do we want affordable, plentiful housing, or arbitrary beauty, though?

  Those two are not mutually exclusive.

    The median home value in Riverside is $400,000. The US median home value is $250,000.

      Unless Riverside, IL sprang into existence within the last few years, I don't think their contemporary real estate prices are relevant here. It's just as (if not more) likely that their home values are a result of the unified architecture. You would have to look at land, material, and labor costs at the time the majority of the homes were built.
