Damn right. Houses are always built as cheaply as possible and they need to really increase the standards we build our houses to. If there's ever a push to make those changes you'll probably hear push back from developers and others about how it's going to further make houses unaffordable. Thats the smallest contribution to housing prices so too bad I say.
