Some of the newer ones, not so much.
Is there some sort of guiding philosophy towards homebuilding now? Like a number (even a vague one) about how long they are expected to last?

To me what matters most in a house is the stuff you don't see. Those homes sure might seem sturdy, but I'd hate to look at the plumbing or electrical.
