No comparison. The type of Brutalist buildings being discussed for preservation are one-of-a-kind eccentricities. Suburban tract houses are cookie cutters that are often designed to have a shelf-life, made with cheap material and craftsmanship with the intention of being replaced some time in the future. Brutalist buildings look like they're built to last for eons.
