Everyone thinks “brand new” means better, but in 2025 that couldn’t be further from the truth. In this video I’m breaking down why modern new construction is going up faster than ever—and falling apart just as fast. I’m reacting to real examples: a garage setup so ridiculous the outlets are basically 9 feet in the air, wood-framed buildings already rotting, and workmanship so bad it looks like nobody involved has any pride in what they’re building. Crooked installs, exposed wires, doors that don’t shut right—this stuff isn’t “oops.” It’s the result of building to sell, not building to last. I also talk about the bigger pattern: tiny homes being marketed like “modern luxury” while they cram you three feet from your neighbors, entire neighborhoods scraped flat with zero trees, and builders trying to stop inspectors from even getting on the roof. Then you see the roof: exposed nails, smashed vents, torn shingles, sloppy sealant—on “luxury” homes. I’m also calling out material shortcuts like OSB/pressed wood, and the concerns around PEX plumbing and chemical leaching. The takeaway is simple: ALWAYS get a home inspection, and stop assuming new equals safe. If you’re buying, ask hard questions about materials, trades, oversight, and what happens when the warranty ends—because a lot of this feels like planned obsolescence for housing.
