Yeah, that's true. I guess I don't trust developers to build decent buildings, especially affordable ones.

In England, the new-build homes are often of a far inferior build quality to the older ones built after the war.

Yup. You would think "builder grade" materials and work in a home was a sign of quality, a la "craftsman"... but no, it's "built using the cheapest shit that met code, and put together on deadlines".
