to be fair the changes neither detract nor enhance it since affordable housing is kinda meh legoland/ikea builds anyways..

I hope they still have the patterned brick at least though - I just hate how it communicates "if you're poorer than everyone else you can't have a nice looking building" but whatever - some people might like this type of design..

Also I always laugh when they have all these fancy overhangs and tiered levels - the most common construction is a rectangle with load forces going straight down - as soon as you add jutouts and tiers then this overcomplicate the steel design and more point loads have to be added and so they just usually end up eliminating them after the calculations are done - which is why I'm not surprised at all the last picture had the roof jutout removed and that little tiered spot removed either as then it makes it harmoniously boxy for such a cheap design.
