plumbing in houston... always galvanized??

[Alex J.]

ive been looking at various homes, not new build, but homes from 1980-2010s... it seems as though almost all the houses im coming across are galvanized plumbing.... why is this so common in houston?  generally in los angeles and other markets if i come across this type of plumbing ill immediately pass unless its a full gut job... to the houston sugarland katy people on the boards what are your thoughts?

is this a deal killer for you?
