The style and colors emphasized at Seaside have been picked up by developers with less imagination and little care for town design, and applied to standard boxy forms with towers plunked on top.
In some ways the Seasidesque boxy houses seem less humane than the blunt condominiums nearby on the beach, which seem like alien invaders but at least provide some overall organization of the space.
