If you are OK with unremarkable urban supply, stuck with unremarkable suburban supply, and freely support the erosion of anything remarkable by the unremarkable, you will end up with a city fabric that will be shunned by anyone who can find higher quality cloth elsewhere.
Are you saying the same thing for the suburban subdivisions that are still being built? That's what I view cheaper, faster urban developments as competing with. I'd love to see higher design standards, but not arbitrarily high standards for new urban development (while there's effectively no standards for suburban ones).
