Afternoon Jennifer,

Construction technology have changed over the years. It have allow building to be built within shorter period of time, known as pre-feb. Joining two different pieces of material together will allow contraction and expanding. Hence cracks take place.
Older building technology built the building up using bricks and cement. Expansion and contraction are on smaller scale, hence not as visible.
Choose any high end project now with good pricing, you will still experience such issues. If you feel that certain building should be classified as "Dangerous for Living" you can talk to the management.. I believe you are knowledgable enough to understand such issues.

All the best
