I know there is a lot of waste in construction nowadays. Everything from designing big for the sake of big to ordering in excess and throwing away leftovers is short-sighted. I don't think government, corporate interests, or the populace learned the real lessons of the 2007/2008 collapse, so we may be looking at a worse sequel. Creative recycling and thrifty purchases will be practical necessities instead of fashionable virtue signalling if that does occur. At least we'll see who was serious and who was role-playing then.
