[quote=briansd1]BG, I don’t understand your fixation with tract houses or non-tract houses.
A house is a house. A custom house may not be any better than a tract house. Homeowners do all kinds of weird stuff so someone building a one-off house is not any better.[/quote]
This is true, brian, but a person going thru the time, trouble and expense of building a custom home in coastal CA counties (where lots are expensive) has to jump through a lot of hoops to get city/county approval. They can’t just put a skirt around a trailer and build a room addition on it, like you can in TX.
In addition, people aren’t going to go through all the trouble and expense to build in CA coastal counties if their land isn’t worth building on (too small or badly-located lot).
