Yes, they are truly ugly. And, if they are anything like many of the other buildings in the south Slope, the construction will be SHODDY. The roofs will probably leak, the bath fixtures will leak, parts will remain unfinished. The buyers should just file a lawsuit at the closings. Still they'll price in the middle 500s for a 1 bdrm - even in THIS market.

I like #2, though it looks like I'm in the minority. It's unique, interesting and not GREEN, Blue OR RED. The design reminds me of a bike rack and it has a modern, semi-industrial feel which is what your location is about.
