   @emsenn @allan @brennen This is anecdotal, but my house is over 100 years old and seems to have fewer issues than a lot of newer homes, in part, because the newer homes are basically mass-produced and they seem to build the cost of fixing deficiencies into the price (since they are covered by warranty if caught in the first few years).

      @brennen @allan @emsenn In fairness, it's easy to say older homes were better built when the ones that weren't well-built have long been torn down and replaced. There's a bit of confirmation bias here, for sure. Despite having gone through many different uses and having been a rooming house at one time, my house was probably exceptional for its era. There's probably a reason why the house on one side of me is a 1950s bungalow (the other side is harder to guess).
