By the way, the construction quality in much of 4S is actually quite poor and will not stand the test of time.
This is a fairly bold statement to throw out. I am not going to say you are either right or wrong but I would like to know what qualifies you to say that this is poor quality.
Are you a builder? If you are an engineer do you work with Housing. Are you a materials expert?
The way I see it things are generally improving aespecially as consumers demand quality. This has been true of the automobile industry and as far as I can tell it it true the housing industry aswell. Again I am not qualified to say with certainty. Are you?
