I honestly don't think I have ever seen a tackier home in my life. (York: apartments, coop)

Yeah there too, and Addisleigh Park too. Which is not as grand as the other two, but would likely have more ugly houses.
I do have a feeling Flatbush would actually be worse off without that landmark designation, right across the border in Kensington you see a lot of tacky houses with chrome railings. I understand people from other countries might not have the same aesthetic standards, but still.
But think about how Forest Hills Gardens is just right across Queens Blvd from this section of Forest Hills that is easily know as the tackiest area of NYC. I don't think Kensington is as tacky, nor is Victorian Flatbush as nice as FHG.

Yeah the difference is more pronounced with Forest Hills and Forest Hills Gardens than Flatbush/Kensington. The new construction (at least the 2-4 family houses) in Kensington is pretty fugly, though.
There are a lot of these Bukharian Jewish renovations in North Forest Hills. Lots of complaints from the residents. Stop work orders galore for illegal demos & all kinds of shady shenanigans. Somehow they still keep getting built.
The Bukharian "taste" level is very questionable, lol. I had a tooooon of Bukharian friends in high school and inside their homes were basically caverns with couches and rugs. No warmth.
It's a lot better than modern architecture (not post-modern). Modern architecture is basically a bunch of boxes. It doesn't get any dumber than that. The only reason contractors picked up on the idea of modern architecture was it was so easy to build "like, all I gotta do is build a box? That will save me money!"
