That idea works until you have several such buildings near you and you get to go out on your balcony and see an ugly building everyday.

- makeitdouble 4y agoI’m not sure there’s any solution to this. Europe has had many uniformly designed high density residence towers, with clean and very worked out exteriors, and it’s a hell to live in. Balconies are a real QOL improvement, actual windows are as well. I had a friend who snapped after a year of not being able to fully open his windows. There’s middle grounds, with glass towers that partially hide the balconies and AC units for instance to make it look clean, but you never end with the level of uniformity of the hotels in the article.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoTake 10,000 hideous plain beige detached houses. Replace 2000 with 20 big buildings. 2000 with 200 small buildings, 2000 with row houses, 2000 with duplexes and quadplexes and leave 2000 as houses (but remove the hoa). Now they can all look at a large park, and still only take up half the space.
