[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Unfortunately, there are a lot of shady real estate developers. They face very little government oversight because the city is overwhelmed by the number of developments. Not surprisingly, it's like the Wild West. They ignore building codes. There's been cases of developers removing load-bearing walls and never replacing them. Developers ignore what's allowed on permits. They damage neighbors' homes. It's hard to discipline them because they treat fines like the cost of doing business or they dare homeowners to take them to court knowing most don't have the ability to hire lawyers for years or they disappear. [/quote] There are plenty of shady folks in all kinds of businesses (and guess what, in govt too!) If you want more building code enforcement, go ahead and lobby for it. Banning new developments, because we don't have good enough code enforcement would be like banning cars because we don't have good enough traffic enforcement. [/quote]
