Their voters want fewer regulations. This is what that looks like.

Pointing out that elected officials did what they said they would do and pretending it's because of campaign contributions isn't going to change anything.

It's almost like building regulations are there to protect the people at the cost of unscrupulous businesses.

But nah, regulations bad. Free market will reward builders that voluntarily do things right.

Suuuure.

I'm a civil engineer in asheville & see this first hand daily. It's disgusting, land developers will compromise safety & environmental impacts at all costs to squeeze every penny they can get off the lot.

control housing costs *maximize profit for corporate real estate investors

Fixed the whitewashed title.

Cheap is expensive

Freedom I guess.

Housing is cardboarded enough of late. You get good windows and great insulation even as your walls/foundations crack within the first 5 years. (Popped into the private group for the new subdivision down the way at the edge of town…the pics and complaints are not pretty. Oh. And the land they built on. The construction people had to redo an entire road between houses with people already in them because water cracked that road and bubbled up through it.). This is going to be a regulations battle going forward. I don’t think we want less regulation on these cardboard subdivision houses.

Repubs are going to scream that DEMs are preventing houses from being built by keeping current regulations in place. While DEMs are like ya, safety, find another way. Run on the problem, don’t find solutions.

I am keen to hear about this federal land thing the VP candidates touched on.

Some contractors will do the right thing with or without regulation. But there are definitely a large number of assholes who will build only enough to pass an inspection, making regulations necessary.
