- luckylion 6y agoArchitecture doesn't create crime, but it may well look that way because we generally build the cheapest way possible when building public houses for socially-challenged people. But it's still the people that create the problems, not the building. The next generations that grows up in those buildings aren't being shaped by the building itself, they're shaped by the culture that the inhabitants create.
