I think about this every time I drive past a certain house near here (as I did this afternoon). It can only be described as "Soviet" style. It is basically several cubes connected together - flat roof, sharp corners, a couple of square windows, and everything is painted the most drab shade of gray imaginable. It looks like a prison. It is the epitome of the post-modern era, I can't imagine a more depressing place to live. It is what the WEF 15-minute cities would be filled with.
Indeed, sir. Sadly, as the late Sir Roger Scruton perceptively noted, "Beauty is disappearing from our world because we live as though it did not matter." If you haven't seen it already, you might find his documentary on the subject interesting: https://vimeo.com/549715999
