That is the type of thinking that drives up housing costs.
At least it helps save some long-term costs for many homeowners. What really burns me and many others in a lot of the NEC requirements such as Arc Fault breakers, Tamperproof Receptacles and GFCI circuit in areas other than kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors! Those significantly increase costs or providing no benefits to the homeowner.
