As much as I hate the design, i'm a free market believer and if someone bought land and wishes to build something ugly, they should be able too. I oppose regulation, even when it comes to random rectangles. That's why I believe we should think in terms of incentives. Incentivize developers to build something beautiful and that will stand the test of time.
Some ideas I have in mind:
- Expand the Federal Housing Design Catalogue to condos and mid rises. Vastly increase the number of models and design styles. Make everything open source.
- Get the people of the city to discuss urban design preferences: how people want the city to look like, what people like and dislike. Some developers will probably not care, but i'm sure some would be interested to hear what prospective renters/owners like in terms of aesthetic.
