4. No one learned from Hurricane Andrew...
Edited on Tue Feb-03-09 10:36 AM by Baby Snooks
Lennar was sued by quite a few homeowners after their roofs blew off during Hurricane Andrew and the rain destroyed their homes. The focus of the lawsuits as I recall was the materials used and the question of whether the homes were built to code. You get what you pay for. Which apparently no one learned from Hurricane Andrew. No doubt Lennar is suing in expectation of being sued. But most builders in this country are the same. Bottom line is profit. And China means profit. With substandard materials at half the cost.
