As someone who lives in Southwest and walks by this building every time I take the metro, I must say that I love the HUD building. I love the fact that the design provides me with cover from the weather, if necessary. I love the fact that I feel safe walking by this building because of the security cameras and guards - safe in a way I don't feel around other federal office buildings. Brutalism is not for everyone, but given the historical context of the rebuilding of Southwest, I think the HUD building is an important introduction into the quadrant that was designed to deliberately look different from the rest of DC.
