@sarahdoingthing sure maybe you get greater replicability and it's easier to match ikea furniture but mostly you buy it because it's cheaper
@drethelin and the only kind of house you can get is sticks and stucco with a boring modern plan because it's cheaper to mass-produce
@drethelin in part because of bad regulation of course, building codes and such - the democratic replacement of beauty with efficiency
