hey I read that if you want to be an efficient commercial terran, then putting 7 into housing offers the maximum efficiency and the greatest income for a commercial terran because of the fewer houses that it would require to fill up the land, thus freeing up space for more commercial infastructure.
My source?

When you deal with large amounts of land and large amounts of credits per land invested, then it helps to be able to free up additional land by increasing housing. But which balance gets you the most bang for your buck? Using just two variables, we can easily determine this. As the chart shows, you can maximize income with 7 levels of housing and 248 levels of either commercial, agriculture, or industry. For a taxation or plunder empire, you want 7 levels of housing and 248 levels of housing, for a total of 255 levels. And for a strip mining or mineral generating empire you just want pure mining since neither are infrastructure intensive, they work with either few or no buildings and population.
(there is a chart which illustrates this, but it doesnt paste well here, so see the source for that)
Can anyone verify this?
