"This was an area of a hillside home that was not being retained by an actual retaining wall. There was a wooden fence holding back the stone and dirt and it eventually gave way when too much pressure built up. Neighbors said it sounded like gunshots when the nails started popping out of the fence as it fell."

#15. Who would spend any money on a kitchen renovation were the floor is out at least an inch in about 6 feet?!

Yeah 'Murica. The land of the free where everyone is allowed to built everything. That's why we germans have such things as a TÜV, a "Bauordnung", a "Baugenehmigung" and a "Bauamt".

We have those things, too. Shoddy craftsmanship should not be considered evidence of a lack of regulation.

Rolf, The home construction and remodeling industry is highly regulated and has very strict standards everywhere in the US so “everyone is not allowed to built everything” is a very ignorant comment. Deferred maintenance, weather, earthquakes, along with homeowner work done without a permit happens in every country. Try not to be an imbecile.

Why the poor build quality? My house is on a solid concrete raft on one wing & block and beam the other. No chance of rot, movement or worry!
