  Empirical evidence that neighborhood quality diagnosis is objective rather than merely a matter of opinion.
• the relative harmony or 'life' of a given building may be understood directly from the internal cohesion of the structure... without reference to opinion, prejudice or philosophy, merely as a consequence of the wholeness which exists.quote0.703

• At Moshav Shorashim (1982-88), four houses in a single cluster each came out entirely different, governed by family choices interacting uniquely with topography and orientationfinding0.696

• Schmitt (1966) found that mental health was better in a high-density Italian neighborhood (Boston's North End) than in comparable lower-density areas.finding0.695
  Demonstrates that physical density alone does not determine mental health; social structure matters.
• At Santa Rosa de Cabal, 76 families each designed their own unique house using the generative process, with the neighborhood complete in its first form by 1995finding0.694
