my fav example is the high end house that won building industry awards. it has huge huge amounts of windows. the best the industry can do and its quickly sold off. all the subsequent houses of that design all had timber battens across the windows to shade them. no prize for guessing why the original award winning master piece got sold off.

 

 

Of course you don’t know why it was sold, you are guessing. There is a big difference between opinion and fact. Far too often you present the former as the latter.

Reading through the comment you replied to, there was a lot more context that has unfortunately  been lost.

 

The gist of it is that building  a house is a bigger thing than just giving the client what they ask for.

 

Even  a libertarian would see the problems with such a stance.

There is no context that has been lost. OP has a particular view of the world. They believe that their view on the way housing should be built is the only valid view.

 

I don't agree. It's really that simple.

meh, handle being handle. if it was up to you we would all be living in tents and being sold off each year for double the price.

 

my view is really simple, a house needs to do what houses are meant to do, instead of reducing that ability so it can increase how much make money from them.

I'd love to see where I have said any of that? Please feel free to provide quotes that support this.
