Shitty contractors happen. I've done remediation in affluent neighborhoods where the median home price was around 900k, almost every home was experiencing interior water damage in less than 5 years because the developer was looking at who had the cheapest bid and the stucco crews were paid by the square foot.

My dude, they showed city blocks of tofu dreg houses. That goes beyond "bad contractors"

My dude, the neighborhoods Im talking about encompassed a few hundred houses. I regularly tell customers to be really careful about buying homes built within the last couple decades because the chances of getting a McMansion that's glued and duct tapped together are high.

If you pay attention, you'll notice how many of these discussions will go like

"If you think China is a perfect utopia, then how do you explain that something bad happened there?"

"I don't think it's a utopia. Yeah that bad thing seems bad."

"So you accept that China is literally Mordor then?"

"What"
