Utilitarian in bulk might be needed. Folks need housing, and cities need to grow. Its very evident that what is occurring at the moment just isn't meeting demand. Cheaper housing, but one that can be built in mass is needed. Nothing fancy, nothing that will skyrocket costs and ones which costs will be translated to the consumer... just basic, utilitarian housing if its apartments or rentals or basic purchasable units/houses.

Less luxury, more basic functionality.

The 50's onward witnessed a big boom due to the post-war demand and so, with higher frequency, not everything will be catered of the utmost quality. One could say these days, with costs the way they are, we need quality to degrade. Cheaper and meets the basic needs of folks who just want a roof over their head without getting raped in costs.

agree, but aren't they throwing up those cookie cutter four over one apt bldgs that look like college dorms everywhere these days?
you seem to see them going up in and around every city over the past several years at least.
