That's another thing. Why don't almost all homes come with backup generators? I doubt it would be difficult to operate in a housing track.

- Semiapies 17y agoSo it's silly to have spare tires and jacks in cars, but houses should come with backup generators? :)
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoBecause it's completely unnecessary for most? In the last 7 years I've lived in city, suburb, and now on a farm. The last time I lost power was about 10 years ago living in the city. Why should my house come with an expensive item I will most likely never need and if I did need it, is available within hours?
- sliverstorm 17y agoThey are expensive and require maintenance. I used to rent in an area that gets power outages that can last more than a couple days, 5-10 times a year. My landlord's family, who lived next door, didn't have a generator, were pretty well off, and just lit up candles. I asked the landlord's wife once, and she said simply 'too expensive'. If it wasn't worth it for them, how is it worth it for people who never have power outages?
