^^This.
The thing is, that quest is just weird. If someone has given any thought to their building placement why on earth would they want to do that? It seems more like a last minute "Eep! We need one more!" sort of thing rather than something someone thought about. (The slightly more cynical take would be that there's a first year psychology student on the team, writing on a paper on "Gee, I wonder if people will do this?" ) So the sort-of-workaround is useful at the moment but the quest could use revising.
+1. Also pointed out in testing and early live feedback. Hop to BB.
