Isn't that kinda the point of a uniform code of building? At least here the county code requires larger studs and windload due to the weather we get.

- aidenn0 6y agoThere's an argument to be made that if nearly all building just barely meet the legal requirements, then the legal requirements are too steep because we haven't found the bottom. Compare with NHTSA car safety ratings. Many cars get 4 or 5 stars, but you can still build/buy a car that would be less safe.
- vvanders 6y agoYeah but you also can't build a car without seatbelts/airbags/backup cameras.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoI've worked on homes built in the 90's with stupid stuff like flashing missing around the doors and windows. The ensuing water damage is not pretty. Pretty easy to sneak that past an inspector.
