Absolutely.

These changes in building techniques have created new ecological niches. It's not surprising that these new environments lead to proliferation of previously rare species, like Stachybotrys, for example.

But it's a lot easier to just blame attorneys than to recognize that we have foolishly created a tens to hundreds of billions of dollars problem for ourselves over the last 25 years.

The home building industry is running scared. The APA is workin very hard in educating builders on good practice. Moisture is the culprit here and the problem can be remedied. The building products industry is also working hard. They are even looking at additives for lumber products. Sweaty pipes is another issue that's being addressed. Air exchangers will soon be a requirement as well.
