Lamb seems like he doesn't care about end users. He was fine with letting people live above a mechanic's garage at this location in illegal apartments with carbon monoxide issues until the city stepped in.

If there's a profit to be made, he'll make it and move on to the next project. At the end of the day, you're building homes for people to live in and invest their lives in, not making cheap disposable widgets. You have to have empathy and respect for the end user to do your job properly as a home builder.
That's only true more recently though. Older Lamb builds are quite good. Theatre Park has 3 cabs for 234 units (1:78), King Charlotte has 2 cabs for 232 units (1:116), Parc has 2 cabs for 103 units (1:51), etc. etc. etc. This race to the bottom we're seeing across the industry now really is a more recent development.
