I know--seemingly dumb question, but in many threads/posts there is reference to building new homes or having recently built a new home.
I realize (being in the construction industry), that there is the issue of housing demand in a given geographic area--that makes sense. But in so many areas, there are abandoned old homes (not all located in "blighted" areas) that are just literally rotting away.
It seems that the bulk of the membership here is into restoring and curating audio gear (and other stuff like autos, furniture, guns, watches/jewelry, etc.). Why no love for these (potentially) beautiful and well-constructed homes--many of them bordering on "mansion" status?
Being in "the business", I can state (with confidence) that unless spec'd down to every detail by the future homeowner, new construction is garbage, and "custom" builds get very expensive, very quickly.
Just curious...
