Almost anything is better than those 7 ugly student housing apartments built within the last 10 years. The facades on a couple look like a warehouse and cheap without any symmetry.

Again, most of them look either like a pseudo industrial building or a hotel/resort. A few are nice, but still most look like one of those two options.
I don’t know if I would say they lack symmetry, but they are solid looking buildings that fulfill a student’s needs and offers good amenities. Some examples: https://www.apartments.com/theory-sy...se-ny/xhwhnxn/
I think what sets a development like the Avalon apart from these buildings in that it is a newer building that maintained the architectural character of the neighborhood, while looking purely residential, if that makes sense.

Yeah, those examples you linked to are definitely ugly.
All of my links to apartment designs are much more impressive, inspiring and beautiful than 80 percent of what has been built in the City of Syracuse in the past 10 years.

Again, that’s your opinion, as they just look like modern/pseudo industrial buildings or hotels. They don’t address the needs of people by what they look like strictly on the outside. Many of the most recent example just look like a remix of the same style.
All of the buildings are a newer, solid place to stay with nice amenities. I think that bottom line is more important at the end of the day.

I actually have no idea what you are saying. It makes no sense to me.
And the world continues on. Ugliness will never be cool. People will always seek beautiful neighborhoods to live in. Buildings create the built environment. The built environment creates cities. Cities are either beautiful or ugly mostly based on building designs.

Nice try, as my point is that those buildings are just pretty much using the same design in a slightly different way or look like a hotel. If you look at some of the new buildings like the Theory, many of these buildings have a similar layout.
Also, a built environment is about the infrastructure, not just the buildings themselves. Meaning how a street is laid out, sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. Now, buildings become involved in terms of where they are laid out in relation to the street, sidewalk, etc., but the building itself in terms of architecture isn't the only part of the built environment or even the most important(if at all). Scale in terms of walkability and biking for people to do so in an efficient and safe way is just as, if not more important, as it allows for people to exercise more options in terms of how to get around within a neighborhood. Public transportation also helps facilitate that people getting around as well.

If there was a ranking of "the top 100 ugliest apartment buildings in the United States built within the last 20 years" .. I'd bet that at least half of the 14 ugly apartment buildings I listed built in Syracuse would be on that list.
Just imagine if the leadership of Paris, France, when it was under construction, had your opinion about the built environment .
Or just imagine if Paris, France torn down all the beautiful historic architectural buildings and replaced the buildings with the similar architecture of the 14 ugly apartments built in Syracuse within the past 20 years . If that happened the property values would drop and most of the wealthy population would move to a more beautiful city.
Meaning the infrastructure of Paris, France is secondary to the beauty of the built environment of the architecture.

No offense, but this emphasis on the buildings being "ugly" is a bit much. I don't think most people have an opinion either way, given that it is very subjective and buildings are only one piece to the city design. You have to consider the walkability, bike infrastructure, building positioning in relation to the sidewalk/bike lanes, public transportation in terms of routes and frequency, efficiency of getting around(which by car, is not an issue), landscaping and so much more in regards to city design.
