  1. All new buildings should be designed with large roof overhangs. The large overhang provides beauty and protection from the sun, rain and wind. Protection of the doors, windows and siding make for a more durable and comfortable home.

  2. New homes should come with solar panels, a rain water collection system and an electric vehicle charger in the garage.

  3.  @Senthiuz  Lower cost of ownership thru lower heating and cooling costs. EVs used ⅓ the cost to travel the same distance vs gasoline. Short term thinking keeps poor people poor.

  4. All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone. Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier. Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided. Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open. Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter. Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.

  5.  @rovert1284  Yes -builders want to use less materials to save money. They in effect are making building that look less appealing and have less protection from the sun, wind and rain. Short term thinking keeps people poor.
