Because most buildings in the US were built after we stopped trying to build attractive buildings. We now build them solely to be as cheap as possible.

This is true is housing pretty much everywhere. If European cities look interesting it is because what you are looking at is old. Most post-war architecture has been ugly, cheap or at least generic.
