The rendering of the Costco plan looks no worse than the typical 5-on-1 that gets built all over LA and would have been built with traditional methods.
How you're assuming that there is a difference in how it will "enrich the city and the lives of tenants" based on that render is beyond me.
You decry regulation in the same sentence you wish buildings were beautiful and life-enriching. You wildly overrate the style, comfort, and safety of stuff that gets built in countries without the sorts of regulations that the US has today.
