Generally it is each subdivision, but it can be larger groups of homes like that.
They are depressing, but people buy them because they’re generally new construction and represent good value. You get over it if it saves you enough $$$.
I’ve yet to go into any new construction that wasn’t shit compared to the 100 year old house I grew up in. That place was rock solid. The only problem with it was a roof leak that was actually from the extension my parents had done on the 2nd floor (aka new construction). By comparison every time I go visit their new house they’ve uncovered some new shoddy workmanship from the shit builders that inly focus on cranking out houses as fast and cheap as possible. I hate so much that they sold their old place for this garbage I’m going to have to fix when I inherit it.
I agree, old homes have hella survivorship bias. But, you are playing roulette that nothing with fail immediately. The advantage of new construction is that you don’t have to worrru about any stupid retrofits and that you know nothing will break for at least a little bit.

Has not been my experience. Yea the builder will usually fix it but I’ve seen them try to weasel out of that too.
