Hm I don't much about the subject matter, but this can't possibly be right can it?

Frequent enough to be well known; condo owners that bought prior to them being built were told they’d need to pay an extra $X because the builder could get more for them after they were built (housing prices were more)

It is also fairly common for a contractor to relist if there’s a complaint against their company

The rest I am unsure of but they sound plausible, there is too much need for skilled trades because boomers a lot of time refused to grant people working under them apprenticeships, instead just using them as labourers that way they could charge more and not be replaced.

You would think it can’t be right until you get burned and find out.
