well after hurricane ANDREW in 1992 you could tell the older homes from the newer eazy the old stuff was in one peice
and the newer ones were rubble,
even in the worst hit areas, the old the house the better chance
it was less damaged
my 1940 build house had 4x10 rafters with nailed real wood strip roof those allmost never failed unlike
the new plywood type that just blew off others roofs built with 2 by frames
I will never even look at new construction here the older home are way better built
union vs 3th world labor also is a BIG factor in quality
and they just donot build them like they use to
