    People on the streets is far more soulless than gray concrete housing. Especially because concrete can at least be painted over to make it look better.

      I think you misunderstood my point. That concrete block design came about due to a push for efficency and quickly rebuilding post WWII. So it was either house more people quickly or nice looking houses.

      The US hasn’t really ever had to make that decision. We have enough houses as is for the homeless. The design of our homes/apartment buildings is not our limiting factor, it’s our policies and approach to housing and the homeless.
