I read the article hoping the author would describe the solution to the described "ugliness".

It never came.

Conclusion? This is just one long angry rant, by one bitter individual.

For ugliness cannot exist without contrasting beauty. Just like darkness does not exist without light.

I took it to be almost entirely tongue-in-cheek; just a humorous commentary on the superficial facade of the current iteration of modernization and the urbanized city core.

I don't believe any of it was written to be taken too seriously.
