I noticed that practically all those buildings were bare concrete on the outside.

If they were painted in bright colors in diverse places they might actually look welcoming. As they are they look like prisons on some sci-fi movie set...............

Our city recently knocked down an old (well, early- to mid-60s construction) Brutalist theater that had been part of a large state institution. There were some who wanted to save and renovate it, but had no real plan to raise the money needed. The city said, nope, you don’t have the money, the city isn’t spending that kind of money, it’s gone. It was ugly, and would have been ridiculously expensive to renovate and operate, and would have been an ongoing large maintenance cost.
