If I'm building a house, the only regulations I want on it are those concerning safety and stability of the house (electrical, structural, etc).
Why on earth should I have to spend an extra $10,000 on *my* house for things I quite possibly would never need?
$10,000, no matter how you look at it, is a good chunk of change. It can add a whole year to your mortage. The whole thing with building just about anything is "oh it's only this much more to do this, and only a little bit more to do that, and..." and soon you end up with something 3 times as expensive.

So, I flat out disagree with you here.
