When prices go down it would seem that builders mfgs, etc would attempt to maintain the same profit margins. so we know that something has to change.
When shopping for a flat screen a few years back I learned after my six month trek that SAMSUNG had dumbed down the innards of their flat screens so that the 750 model i purchased was far superior to their 800 900 models
As to building codes I have been witness to counties that have looked the other way for political reasons...and had there not been an onslaught of homes dealing with the same prolems the counties negiligence would have never been uncovered.
So it does make sense to me that homes built prior to the downturn have a better potential of better building than......I am just saying
