The build quality on post 2008 homes is absolute dogshit too. Expect roof leaks, nails piercing through your copper pipes, shoddy wiring, crooked and split studs, hvac units that crap out in 5 years...

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.
