Take a look at the build quality of $500,000 homes that are being built in the US today. They are absolute shit with some sparkly trim that stays nice long enough to distract you until the warranty expires.

$500k house with shitty laminate floors and MDF trim lmfao spoiler alert it's because the builders only care about money, craftsmanship is dead.

And that's more in line with the builds I saw over in China. I'm not defending our build quality (certainly not post 08 when a lot of construction companies went down or merged).
