Why the United States builds the WORST housing

Hey Everyone

Everywhere you go these days, the same type of apartment building seems to follow: boxy, bland, and eerily identical. You’ve probably seen them — five stories of wood framing stacked over a concrete base, wrapped in colorful panels that try (and often fail) to hide their monotony. These cookie-cutter constructions are known as “5-over-1s”, and they’re taking over cities across the U.S.

In this video, we explore:
➡️Why 5-over-1 buildings are so common
➡️ The deeper design and zoning issues behind their rise
➡️ How they’re impacting architecture, walkability, and community identity
➡️ And why these buildings might be making our neighborhoods feel soulless and disconnected

Let’s dive into the hidden costs of fast, affordable urban housing — and talk about how we can build better cities that feel human, not just efficient.
