Two thoughts. First, any developer has to meet then current building codes, and typically only builds out to the codes minimum standards in an effort to minimize costs and maximize profits. Can’t blame the developer, that’s what they do. Blame substandard codes. Second, it’s easy to build to minimum codes when the developer is fully aware that there is a captive buyer lined up to purchase said infrastructure and has to absorb the consequences of that action. Put the blame on that where you please. I’ll leave it alone for the certain blowback my opinion would receive.
