You've discovered the reason why artists don't want anyone to see their works until they're finished. Context means everything, but we tend to judge emerging areas against mature ones that were built out long ago. And we tend to judge each new building harshly, ignoring economic realities and the paradox that if everything is special then nothing is special. We often deride the lesser parts as cheap while we praise the whole as "a fabric." All the great cities grew up over time, and we've got ringside seats to watch Atlanta's explosive growth. The next generation will never know what they missed!
