Too true. I'm in the finishing side, specifically countertops, but holy shit has product quality degraded. I used to see hardwood floors, solid hardwood and plywood cabinetry, and many other DURABLE products it seemed like the house was built around. Now everyone has particle board cabinets, baseboard, LVP floors, and hollow core doors. Oh, and 2x4's as warped as a hotdog on the grill for framing.

My parents have not house shopped in decade, but their home has better quality then the crap townhomes being built near my hometown.
