the LOSS of architectural BEAUTY: america's ugly housing developments

i talk about architectural beauty as capturing the shared identity of a community (as perfectly as possible) and why modern american housing developments fail to deliver in this regard. beauty is a valuable good that should be made more accessible to the public. P.S. anyone catch beethoven's ninth symphony playing when i mentioned the piece?
