Don't love ersatz historic if what it means is cheap materials and carricature design. But I do also think that we need to stop being allergic to building with more traditional architectural styles. Modern (colloquial, not the technical term) architecture is fine in some scenarios, but I think I (and many others) would prefer stuff that is more traditional in most use cases.
And just to finish that thought, it really wasn't until the last 70 years or so that architecture has really shifted in terms of the overall impression of what the construction looks like. Don't get me wrong, I think there is definitely a place for contemporary styles, but it would get really tiresome if everything was totally contemporary. Maybe mix in a little more Raymond Hood (of tribune tower fame) with the black corrugated metal.
