I think there's also a difference between buildings that architecturally aren't aligned with today's aesthetic, versus those that are truly ugly due to poor design or lack of consideration for any aesthetic. A brutalist or Bauhaus building today could look old, ugly, etc. but one can still appreciate its aesthetic in context... A glass condo copy and pasted in CAD software and then rotated to fit a plot of land without consideration for anything... That's ugly.

There's a similar issue in new suburban neighbourhood, where the same floor plan is copied and pasted down a whole street, yet the house on the corner lot lacks windows on wall facing the perpendicular street... It's so disheartening to see.
