Does anyone know why it seems to be ubiquitous across nations that every homeless/low income housing project delivers such shit results or none at all?

I guess if anyone was to set a good example and built well designed, long lasting, eco friendly, publicly owned homes that put pressure on the private market they'd get in trouble from their developer/construction/investor/banker mates?

Not eco friendly because built in the 1920s, but ticks the other boxes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindebau

When this was done, the authorities knew that the private housing market was going to suffer and they went ahead anyways. With continuous modernization most of these are still in use today.

How did architecture take such a sharp turn for the worse. Those buildings have charm and style.
