The DR Horton house are so awful and they are built like a hotel room with no storage (which means building more off site storage units) and postage stamp lots with septic tanks (not good and have to rip out trees to do it) Horton is fast, cheap, and sloppy in general. Just ask the inspectors. But hey, it will pass the code (barely) and kick the can down the road.

In the meantime, the REAL problems with real estate are the monopolization of banks and private equity firms. Why? Because we failed as a nation to force the bankers into jail.

I'm talking to you Obama.

I'm disappointed . Truly , I am. I have posted all over substacks the documentation for the appraisal fraud and housing crisis that destroyed jobs, families etc.
