All soffit is vinyl for the same reason. Copper pipe? Fuhgetaboutit. I have central a/c units to install but won't do it until tenants are moved in and the security fence is in place; someone will cut out the copper coil. If the economy gets REALLY bad, we could write everyone bigger 'stimulus checks'. Yeah, that'll fix everything.
