It is not really that outlandish. Ugly houses are not going to kill you or anyone else - directly. It is that the more we degrade the human and natural environment by creating ugly, depressing, inhumane spaces, places and practices, the less capital (natural, human, etc.) our children, their children and their children will have live on.

How about some evidence instead of merely restating your claim. I drove butt-ugly cars for several years. Did that do bad things to me? How about the people who were on the road with me? Again - some useful evidence would be nice. (You can argue that seeing ugly houses is different from seeing ugly cars, provided you have evidence supporting that proposition.) I note that to the extent aesthetics cost money, they use capital that we might otherwise use to live on.
