    Why is total efficiency left wing? Isn’t maximizing profit right wing? The buildings should be built to maximize happiness of the people who, together, decide on the architecture… at the expense of profit.

      efficiency and maximum extracted profit are not the same thing

      the modern western housing construction process from start to finish is an incredibly inefficient process which is designed around minimizing as much risk and maximizing as much profit to the financiers, nothing about it is designed around effecient home-building.

      It’s not per say but you have to be efficient when you have homeless people to house. After everyone has somewhere to live then you can ease off the efficiency.
