[QUOTE="ZombieHunter, post: 924466, member: 5791"] You are mistaken, I am not against Big business, or a monopoly, I am against how they obtain it, then we are supposed to follow a different set of rules, take a large home developer for instance, how many of them do you think ACTUALLY hire residents of the USA, I know back on the west coast its about 2%, ok and how many of those Big McMansion Developers cut costs and corners, and build sub-standard no adherence to code whatsoever jank-boxes of crap, and then turn around and get a bank to finance you $300,000 on just the principal for a house that isnt worth the waste produced to build the crap, and make another $200K from the interest on top of it. Where is the line, Why can't I do that? Why don't I get the option of doing that with my hard earned $? I want to build cracker jack houses made of pressboard and glue and make a fortune too! That is what I am speaking of, and I am just being frank here, My father and I take our time in over-engineering homes, that from a structural standpoint will withstand the test of time and all nature can throw at her, but we do not make the kind of $ a developer would, because they have special corporate "pants" and so does the bank, and both of them play in each others pockets. Dont even get me started on inspector's and their associated "fees" I have yet to meet a code "enforcer" that knows half as much as me, let alone my father about PRACTICAL engineering. [/QUOTE]
