i do think another layer of complication here is that like... quite simply??? companies of the past havent been about sustainability. and as a result of that + customers' desire for instant gratification = a lot of the stuff we associate with ''good quality'' just exists in fucking LOW numbers now. like idk what the term is but its like an equivalence to ''overhunting'' or ''not so bad as being endangered but definitely in the 'at-risk' section of that list'' like. i remember asking my father (who was a carpenter for a long time) why doors are typically made either hollow or full of this material that is essentially ''wood scraps that we blended into a weak-but-stronger-than-cardboard'' plank and he said that quality doors are often made out of one giant piece of wood (the exception being doors that has a huge glass panel in them. then its common to use smaller planks of wood to border it. but we arent talking about those kind of exceptions) which if all door companies everywhere did one giant piece of wood? we'd be out of trees really fucking fast bc a lot of old houses' doors got thrown out when (a) said house got torn down or (b) a house-flipper remodeled the house. so all these new homes + those homes that got house-flipped need/want several new doors (people usually want their interior doors to all match and their exterior doors to mostly match as sometimes the front door gets to be unique) which is a LOT OF WOOD. and sometimes these doors do NEED to be new bc theres no way for them to have inherited sonmany solid wood doors (eg a new apartment complex dedicated to section 8 housing) and also sometimes those solid wood doors are unusable (eg wood-rot and breakage after your house got flooded by a natural disaster) and need to be replaced. and theres simply too many door companies and too many varying tastes for doors (+ instant gratification again) to have all these solid wood doors stockpiled and ready to be shipped. not to mention all the other reasons we chop down trees for xyz are also in competition. and we just simply are not planting enough new trees + those new trees have not had those decades of growth allowed yet to meet with the needs/wants for new doors. we were too irresponsible in the past + are messily trying to be responsible now for our ecosystem and trees. so. as a result. hollow shitty doors where the outside is made of wood-ish materials that sometimes have this wood-scrap nonsense inside. and theyre again very weak compared to solid wood doors and even less likely to stand up to age/disasters and theres no other workable option. like. imagine there being some kind of reservation system where you have to apply and wait for months/years for them to get to your commission. now im not saying that idea would never work; but what i am asking is if there is any company or federal workforce that you would trust to gatekeep all new doors and be reasonable about accepting/denying people's requests in both a timely manner and with sped-up reserves for emergent situations where people do need a new door within the week or less? not ''in an ideal world of xyz in our government'' but i mean if this was to exist in the next 5 years. most door companies shut down to intentionally create this bottleneck so we can all have high-quality doors. do you trust any company or your gov to be timely and ethical and have emergent reserves and all other neccesities needed for this to work? do you?? i dont know any id trust rn. im genuinely asking so like. its complicated. sometimes the low-quality stuff exists for ecological reasons with our current reality taken into account but on the whole? yeah. i agree. lots of low-quality stuff has no reason to exist. esp if we had fair taxation of the rich and socialist organizations taking care of impoverished or other marginalized people who might fall through the cracks and whatnot. op is V MUCH correct
