>After having seen hundreds of garbage new construction where the water runs the wrong way of the drain in a bathroom, badly done framing, wiring, crooked doors and all that telltale sign of a developer trying to turnaround property as quickly as possible so that they can recoup their investment, I feel very sad when these glorified barns sell for millions of dollars because there is limited supply.

Tons of regulation of construction didn't stop people from building crap anyway? Color me shocked. /s

Yup!

A savvy developer has no reason to use higher quality, longer lasting materials. The price of the house goes up and that affects how long the house will be on the market, which affects the developer's cashflow.

The owner who will be living in it for decades to come might have a higher stake in doing that
