Fair enough, i am fortunate enough to not have to speak from experience on the subject. But when building social housing on a large scale, hiring some halfway decent architects to design some functional and simple, but modern and liveable apartments is only a tiny fraction of the cost.

Think dense housing with a little less uniformity and more quality of life in mind, like room for planting and communal green spaces, perhaps areas that could be used and allocated by the inhabitants instead of pre planned rigidness. More colors, windows, etc.

Touching up a purely functional block design with these all very cheap and minor adjustments could make them a lot more appealing.

Though I of course concede that if the budget is so small that this isnt feasible, the purely functional aspect comes first.
