We could argue 95% of US urban areas is covered by poorly built suburban houses.
I see nothing wrong with those buildings. Large balconies, lots of green all over them, not to mention the pedestrian friendly nature of the city. Architecture is not about glass skyscrapers, but also of interiors, where people spend most of their lives.
Solid and tasteful apartment in Athens or a generic dry-wall house on US suburbia?
