None of the homes had screened rear lanais, not screening the front lanai is normal, many of the homes were complete. Usually the screens are put in a 3-4 weeks before completion, which from watching everyday, would have been a few weeks ago.
Let's take a short trip down reality road, or at least the the building materials rows at Lowes and Home Depot. Compared to 5 years ago (pre-covid) prices are 2, 3, or 4 times what they were for wood, drywall, etc., even the cost of paint has nearly doubled. All these prices increases to are passed down to the buyer in the form of higher prices for the home. They (the builder) has 2 choices, charge higher prices for the homes or cut less needed/used items. It is obvious that the latter is the path chosen.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
