"major controversial opinion of the Nazis was that buildings should be beautiful"

That's not controversial my friend. They should absolutely be beautiful. This is a belief that has been held for thousands of years up until the advent of the late 20th century.

The belief has held through to today, too. The difference is that there was a huge explosion in the global population - especially the middle class - to the point that all the crappy houses and apartment buildings people could actually afford to live in vastly overwhelmed the buildings with pretty architecture.

In this rare case, downvotes have actually proved somebody wrong. The value of beauty actually is controversial!
