A structure that isn't a piece of shit. If I'm a developer building 25 units on a subdivided farm I just bought everything will be framed in 1x3 and slapped together as cheap as possible. With fresh siding and shingles and roll out lawn I will sell it for exactly the same price as a properly built house, in fact more cause I can slap in a bay window and 5 extra bedrooms since those ^^^ the price. If I'm building a structure for myself that I intend to use in 25 years I'm going have a totally different set of criteria. This is why tract homes (especially those constructed after ~1975) are shit.

Too right. Most contractors are conmen. People have no idea what quality is anymore.
