I don’t think it is a “problem”, but it gets really boring / bleak when every single house looks identical to one another.

It looks boring at first, but over time they come to represent the times of their adoption. I think Vancouver Specials, despite their pathetic looks, have a charm that carries its history and significance. Something similar is bound to happen. And at least this time it's not a single design, there are quite a few.
