Why are cities boring now?

Why are cities boring now? We now have a modernism epidemic of these boring cities, buildings, and places that lack personality and swagger.
There is a lack of creativity in modern architecture. As cities evolve, we're seeing more standardized buildings with less cultural and artistic expression. It is so boring to see this modern style of design and how we went from fun intricate doors to boring ones. We enter this tech and modern look, but it is all minimalism and no swagger. Now there are anti-homeless benches in New York to uniform fast food outlets worldwide, this lack of variety is contributing to a 'sameness' culture. We contrast this with beautiful, unique buildings of the past that blended functionality with authenticity and aesthetic beauty, adding vibrant hues to city landscapes. I wish we focused on different color houses, styles, and personality. Tune in as we explore this issue and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
