so they need to sue the builder for building a town house so poorly that mere smoke smell can pass through.

An excellent conservative notion and tactic.....not.

[longtermmemmory]

It is conservative. I buy a house to have the "quiet enjoyment" of its interior.

The smoker is a forseable purchaser for the builder.


It is strictly a warranty issue.

The poorly reported issue in the article is NOT the smoking inside the house, the issue is the smoke which is permiating into the neighboring townhouses.
