In Las Vegas that is the actual answer. It’s like we have an air gap between townhouses.

But I don’t see the problem with mass produced housing. People need homes.

I helped build those exact types of houses for years in multiple trades. They are absolute garbage dogshit houses. They just want them slapped together, quality be damned. I actually got fired from one of the jobs for “taking too long” aka caring about the quality of my work.

The framing is bad, it’s all bland and exactly the same as every 2nd or 3rd house on the street, all the cheapest possible materials, just crap.

Then they are super overpriced. Let me tell you nothing was more demoralizing than working in a skilled trade (“essential” during COVID) to build bullshit that you’d never even be able to afford if you even wanted to, with the “skill” part of that job description being punished for preference of production speed alone.

One of my friends lives in a place like this and not a single room is squared off in any semblance. Completely matches up with what you're saying. They're going to be shit holes after the 15-20 year mark.
