Praise the Lord today is a new day. The people have spoken and change has come. We have much work to do to stop white collar crime that has become like a disease in this great land. With our new president now a chance for civil rights to be given back to us. Yes all the way down to us and our fraudulent builder.
I told you that God would take care of this and boy has he! The WORLD stopped to watch as America proved herself again to be the land of hope and dreams full of a people who strive to be better. How awesome!
Well I have to go back to work and yes I have to sign a binding mandatory arbitration agreement BUT, I will not sell any new homes that include this clause. After 8 years we really need out of this house so I have to go forth and make some cash. It will be like being stabbed to sign this but for my kids I must just bare it and DO IT! But I am still very active in bringing change to arbitration. I understand that business must protect itself from people out looking for a buck, but when your the consumer that has been HADD.COM it is TOTALLY UNFAIR and is theft. Robbed of life as you know of and dreams crushed. Not to mention inheritances lost and land destroyed. My children are who have felt the greatest impact as legal and expert witnesses get paid 100's an hour so no vacations, no family fun.
Buyer Beware: When your builder sends you out to get the building permit you have to sign for the permit and guess what??? You have then made yourself liable for the crap they build. Then the county can come after only you........Just as equallly a rip just like the arbitration clauses.
To address your original question: Flimsy new construction is unfortunately the norm throughout the country and Lexington is no exception. I see nothing below $200k built in an area at risk of becoming a rental-burgh before the development is even finished. To top the lot sizes are nothing like the 60s or 70s. The Lexington most people desire went away, at the latest, 25 or so years ago. City leaders should have been careful wahat they asked for. Now it's all out of hand and there will be no return to the atmosphere the town once had.
PLEASE.............Can we just let this thread die? It has kept popping up for over 2 years. The original poster should just turn this into a blog or a reality show :-)

Sorry, but my 2 cents, I hope this thread doesn't die. Yes it has gotten away from the OP but I want to hear about these problems. There was another post from a woman about Ball and that thread disappered. The wife and I are considering on moving back to the Louisville area within 18 months and we will be homeowners. But I don't like what I am reading or hearing about real estate in Louisville. Small houses, shoddy contractors, bad neighborhoods...What the heck is going on down there?
I don't know anything about Lousiville. I have a construction background/education, have been on dozens of home inspections, and been in thousands of homes. It is very rare to have a problem as big as the OP of this thread. (BTW, I only want this thread to disappear b/c it has turned into a status update spanning 2 years.......that is what a blog is for. It has nothing to do with the topic or this person's experience.)
IF you do move back here, find a good Louisville agent and home inspector.

Trust me, I am. We'll be coming down in the spring to start checking things out. I just have to shovel my way out first. Thanks
