The Cost Of Housing

[Revoltingest]

It's funny in a funny way that leftist California has, at least in part, less government nuttiness than other parts of the country.

When you wrote

it triggered my comment about lack of inspections. I have a couple of friends who are architects and from what I've seen, their knowledge of the nit picky but critical details is somewhere around zero, even "Architects of Record". So I see no way that someone in that position would know the details needed to judge how well the work was done (outside of the usual exceptions, of course).

Thus an "inspection" by one such person would be to me no better than no inspection. Capiche, Comrade?

Californiastan has its fruity government, but it's not alone.
It even gives out building permits too easily in disaster prone areas.

So Californiastan is more libertarian than thou in at least that one point.

Where on Earth did this "thou" finger pointing arise?
Michiganistan does as it pleases without seeking my guidance.
Why do you think Revoltistan is at war with it!

I was responding to your clearly written opinion.

What a coincidence....I was responding to your clearly written post too.
I pointed out that Californiastan is not alone in in dysfunctional government.
Michiganistan has its problems too, hence our building code administration
difficulties.
At least your state appears to have better inspection requirements.
