Who said anything about granite? Not the material I chose. I used the words cheap quartz because the one supplied by the Villages' builders is the lowest grade of quartz. Anyone can choose not to have it placed in a newly built home and ask for laminate, instead. Then buy a much better surface, in a color you prefer, for the same price the builder charges you for his cheaper grade. In the end, you pay the same price for the home but you have top-quality finishes. An added bonus, your yearly taxes will be a little cheaper since the recorded purchase price of the home is minus all the optional builder upgrades.
