Boring is cheap. Look at the way houses and apartments are being built now. Soviet Bloc Block Housing. No need for architects if the preexisting plans are pre-approved.
Yay capitalism.
Edit: a lot of people are missing the nuance. Surprise.
except at least the commie blocks were affordable lol
"cheap to build" meant "cheap to rent", not "our housing company is making record-breaking profits! π"
Itβs funny to think that when everything is made more cheap, the more they cost.
