Anything which increases the utility available to a society is positive and presumably increases productivity and so wealth etc
Housing is not straight forward because the pricing is so often arbitrary and does it really matter to live in a certain place. There are people who are lacking in even a basic house and/or are over crowded, so they would benefit and yes thats a plus overall
Ford paid their workers a salary of 110k in todays money. It would not be possible to do with todays laws and taxes, simply put too much of that money goes to government now
It made sense then due to the high utility, uniqueness of his product worldwide not just locally and anything that enabled greater production was highly justified.
