It's clear that you don't understand how building codes work, or even how they're intended to work.
They're not about protecting property values for existing homeowners, and that's a truly bizarre, nonsensical interpretation.
Building codes are about making new construction safer, because the cheapest time to make new buildings safer is when they are built. And we built them to the latest safety standards because the modern code reflects new dangers which may not have been relevant when older buildings were built.
If you really can't get that, then it's clear that your issues with building codes are more about ideology than anything to do with reasoned thought.
