If I have this understanding correct, I would like to know, where was NAHB when the Consumer Protection Laws enacted more than a decade ago in Texas illustrated how proper governing can go along way in protecting home owners and is likely to save Texas from a major housing crash. Laws were passed by the State Legislature to initially protect Subprime morgage borrowers in 1998. Capping the amount of financeing for all Texans at 80%. This halted some of the risky lending practices. IF THE TEXAS STATE LEGISLATURE WAS ABLE TO LOOK OUT AFTER THEIR PEOPLE, MY QUESTION IS DID NAHB TRY THE SAME THING FOR THEIR PEOPLE?? If they did bring this concern to our government, why were the people not protected like Texas did??

Someone needs to get in there and get them to alter these rules. Solar panels are not in keeping with the way people expected homes to look when these rules were written, but they're the right way to go and we need to change our expectation of how houses should look.

As long as there is excess inventory building will continue to be in a moribund situation. The flight of skilled craftsmen and labor seeking immediate vocational opportunities else where may also hamper the comeback.

Good for NAHB on staying on top of the issues at hand. It is always nice to have companies that represent your industry well and promote the important aspects relevant to the consumers.
