Buy a home built between 1920 and 1950. They were built by actual craftsmen who cared about and valued their work not by low iq people who can’t even speak basic English or do basic multiplication or addition etc.

Those have their own set of issues.
You can get a high-quality house built today you just can't go in asking for the most square footage at the cheapest price per foot. Just being frank that is the way most houses are built today.

Only red tagged one board in the whole house, a 2x4 stud with a split which wasn’t a support stud, probably would have been just fine, but out she went.

While I agree this is true there are some of us that did quality work and took pride in what we built as late as the 90s and 2000s. I was a frame and trim carpenter for many years and worked for some people that were hard as Marine Corp drill instructors and demanded good quality work and taught how to do it. Very seldom did an inspector find anything wrong. We knew every code and adhered to the rules. When I built my own home I went overkill on everything that truly mattered. I prided myself on being a true craftsman. Influx of cheap laborers can be thanked for the fall of this. I'm not gonna call anyone out, illegals.......
