One could probably replace the picture with one that captures American suburb. About as soulless and much less efficient in terms of housing. Take the picture in early spring or late autumn to make it extra depressing.
Take picture of the area above during a busy summer from street level and it might actually look cozy in a weir way.
grass is too green, also the picture doesn't convey the smog, the sweltering heat, and the extinction of animal life
There's an article with interesting pictures here: https://mcmansionhell.com/post/154653904191/a-pictorial-history-of-suburbia
But more than that: every country has ugly places like this. You just rarely see pictures of it. And I bet, in terms of squalor, the pic on this post is much better than some US places.
Also, the term "left-wing architecture" is completely nonsensical.
