Does this feed in to some type of stereotype about Belgium that I'm not privy to living in the U.S.?

It's a sort of inside joke among Dutch planners. Belgium has never had strong urban planning laws. Because of this, there are houses literally everywhere and as this site shows, they're often ugly because there are little to no building codes / regulations.
