Give me a break. I mean, sure, some are good (survivorship bias), but old homes cost a fortune to keep up to snuff versus the years-long maintenance holiday you have with a new build.

I don’t understand the whole older houses were better built. You mean a hand saw back then did a better cut than a table saw today? I can tell you that if someone gave me a hammer, nails and a hand saw to build a house i would be taking shortcuts everywhere.
