That's not a dumb question, it's a great question. And off the top of my head, I really don't know the answer. I've never built anything bigger than a fourplex, so I'm not sure what the big difference is with the bigger multifamily units.
I suppose it could have something to do with prices being ground down to the point where the various crews are just not putting in the effort to do a job properly, simply because they *need* to get on to the next job to stay profitable, but that's just a guess.
I'm just as interested as you are to hear an educated answer.
