SF condo owners are suing themselves onto a mortgage blacklist
Builders are liable for defects in new construction projects in California, but a system built around litigation has choked development and stalled sales.
Condo defect liability is *very* wonky but we absolutely need to fix it to make urban homeownership available to middle-class people.
If we don't get this right, ~all the new apartments will continue to be rentals and the only new starter homes for ownership will be in exurban sprawl.

Denver also has a lot of condominiums. Did the liability laws of most of the rest of the country not impact Colorado?
