Thus said "Matt Nelson" on Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:05:02 MDT: > Has anyone else noticed the quality of homes built these days.
I'm sure many have. I wouldn't doubt that my grandmother's home of brick will be standing long after mine has become run down. There have been other improvements in technology, building standards, and more, but on the whole it seems that the home of today is not what it was 60 years ago. > The point that I am getting at is that many people don't care about > quality anymore, but more about quantity. I don't think that they don't care about quality. Its that they cannot afford it. As with any good, if the producer aims to keep prices low, then the only place it can come out of is in the quality. For example, if the cost of metal goes up too much, Transformer toys, while still retaining their same look, colors and even size, will be made with cheaper materials, just so the price can remain relatively close to what it was (even cheaper). To have the same quality toys you had when you grew up, you would have to pay considerably more. Homes are no different.
