Worse than the East Lansing Mythcon bathrooms. Another trend to deplore, from people who apparently wish us to believe they think it's actually a good idea and not a form of psychological torture.
One of the reasons I have an admiration for Erno Goldfinger as an architect is that he insisted on living for a few months in the buildings he designed to be lived in!
That doesn't help much if what you're willing to live in is a high-rise apartment building that looks as if Le Corbusier had been hired to design a parking garage.
Although it's odd that the Goldfinger high rises in London (Victoria/Pimlico area) which the council decided to sell off could have been sold on the private sector ten times over and are in high demand when they do come on the market. Council tenants begged to be allowed to stay and that's something you don't often hear about high rises!
