    House quality is already in the shitter. Hell, not even the shitter, its down the pipe and in the septic tank.

    and its not cause home owners doing repairs.

    Its cause developers spinning up an LLC, buying a plot of land, shitting out a development of 300+ homes in less than 6 months that just barely meet the barest minimum of code (and anything that doesnt typically given a slide thanks to a few greased palms), just to sell all the homes in the mad housing rush before shutting down the LLC and walking away with all the money and no liability on the terrible houses they’ve built that arent suitable for living in.

    CyFy on youtube highlights the problem a lot (and how hard the builders and bribed inspectors go after him for threatening the grift).

    And I have own personal experience witnessing more well off friends struggle with newly bought houses being built like shit at best, to needing 10s, to 100s of thousands of dollars in repairs less than a year after purchase at worse.
