4. I am in the home building industry

I am not very familiar with this issue, but I will tell you this. We get so many new codes each and every year that make it more and more expensive to build a home. We can not even come close to competing with an existing home that doesn't require these updated codes. Obviously we need to improve codes for the safety of people but many codes don't make things safer but they sure do add costs to the job. And remember, those costs are passed on to the consumer. When it comes to multi-family apartments it can add to the rent and for people who are trying to be 1st time home buyers it makes the cost go up.
