[quote=gandalf]What happened in Japan today was awful, just awful, beyond words.

Building codes are so important. Saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Yes, that’s why my subject line was “Japan’s Strict Building Codes Saved Lives”. I didn’t think anyone would take my hyberpole literally without having to out put a disclaimer. I have put a disclaimer now. Happy now?

[quote=ucodegen][quote=gandalf]You’re a shithead and GOP troll.[/quote] I don’t think he is a ‘GOP troll’.. I tend to vote on the Republican side, and seriously disagree with him. The building codes give the next potential buyer of the property, a good idea of the standard to which a building is built – otherwise– everything would be a teardown. If you drop GOP from the statement, you are probably most accurate. I really think he is trying to get a rise out of some people. He probably doesn’t have much planned for this weekend, so he wants to stir the waters.[/quote]
Wow, 5 years of posting serious commentary here and I don’t even get the benefit of doubt. My post was mocking the builders who steadfastly claimed that home prices were so high because of code, permits, etc. I was hoping someone would get the subtle satire on a housing blog!

[quote=lepetitangel]I didn’t know it’s actually an “old” trend as I haven’t really seen too many residential buildings in the East Coast.

I get that the house looks “cute” when you don’t see the garage…(depending how the garage is built and looks like). I guess after all it’s just preference.

I thought the reason why they’re bringing this back is so that the builder can build more homes in the same size lot of land. But I agree with you maybe some people prefer not seeing their driveway and garages.[/quote]
Of course reason is to maximize lots in the sector.
Big problem is lack of parking for guests. Parking will be a huge issue in the future, 10 years out. Neighborhoods with with garages and big driveways will be highly desired.
