most of the really good, very solid buildings were all built with commodity money.
I think you can find examples of good and bad buildings through history with little correlation to fiat. False front architecture has been around for a couple hundred years (at least)

Not an excuse. I'm just not convinced on the lazy "the world is on fiat therefore all buildings are shit" logic.

OK. I understand. But it is fiat and it is lazy. Here is why. The actual work is done to front run the devaluing of the dollar and it is not done to make good quality products and services. Construction crews are pushed to work long hours and assemble garbage, interpret garbage and make garbage work. Then there are those who in the office are bullshitting on their phones, setting up appointments for everything in the world except the actual job. It's an insane amount of non-work going on.
