re: DR Horton new construction framing finds by home inspector

Horton is the bottom tier of tract home builders but even whale shite like them needs to meet minimum standards.

If the inspector keeps turning up shite like this, which is why there is a lawsuit around Lafayette, that should be reason to pull their permits.

They have more lawyers than they do subcontractors. They will find a judge somewhere who will lift any sanctions while they case is being worked out. They will be allowed to continue to build because banks are involved. Eventually the local authority will back down or come to some sort of agreement because of pressure from government officials interested in expansion of the tax base. If they were building 10 houses a year they'd have been ran out of business in the first few months doing the type of work they do.
