In the case of CTX, DHI, KB, etc., you have no legal assurance that
your home will stand, and no legal recourse if/when it falls.

This seems very surprising to non-Americans. NB suggests
American new home buyers do not have the protection we
do, e.g. inspected compliance with state building codes, mortgage
insurance, bonds requiring completion by builders, legislation requiring
builders to repair specific defects, etc. Or did he mean
something different?
