I don't think any Greek likes them, but I think most of the problem is that each one looks different. They don't have a common aesthetic, so the city looks like you bumped your building tray and all your buildings fell over and now you can't be bothered to sort them all again.


The ugliness is only visible from 10000 feet. Up close, the uniqueness of each building, the uniqueness of each intersection, street width, flora, etc gives each neighborhood the character that allows a human to grow their identity, their feeling that they too are unique, that they have a place in the world that is ‘justified and allowed to be different, even unique’
