What hurts the most 'round here is: Skilled (masons) labor is under-cut by rogue builders who bring in 2 dozen "migrant laborers" who can do the job in 1/2 the time and less the cost.
Sadly people wonder why their mortar is cracking after 3-5 years.
Worst of all, the flipping "inspectors" who are suppose to be "inspecting" never "inspect" during the task, only after! Knowing how cash strapped the state is, I really wonder what the value is of the building inspectors in this area.
