Sorry PG , as far as I,m concerned most modern houses I consider to be crap houses these days because of lack of quality of materials & ussualy craftsmanship as well , due to hurry up & gettem built .
I used to sub contract to home builders doing backfilling new basements & landscaping & they were allways in a hurry to get them back filled before the concrete was even cured . Half the time half the house was allready up before the concrete was cured as well , asking for nothing but problems IMO .
But in this case I just used the term crappy cuz it Pissed me off them taking down a perfectly good tree
You can look at any new housing addition at least in My area , first thing the developers do is clear the land of all trees , Level the ground of the natural landscape , then fill the property up with matchstick houses as close as they can gettem together plant lil bitty 6 foot trees then sellem to the snooty tooty folks for 5 times what they are worth . Just my opinion though
