Here are a few links, some dated, to give you an idea of why folks give KB such a bad rap. They've supposedly made marked improvements since but since I don't own a KB Home, you'll have to check with those who do.

They're supposedly getting their act together and trying to re-establish themselves and their reputation. Time will tell.

I actually live in a KB home (built in a nice area in 1998). It is all brick and I've had no problems (you know cracks, etc.). Some of the problems in San Antonio that they had is building houses on clay (northeast side). I see shoddy workmanship in houses being built around NW San Antonio by different builders. The trick is how fast they are building homes and if the foreman can catch the mistakes.
