Why are American houses made of some shitty wood that breaks so easily? Seriously, favelas here have better built houses than American suburbs.

Americans are in capable of seeing in the long-term. It's not just in shoddy construction, but our policy, massive debts, etc. It's in everything we do.

Less radiation in wood than other building materials.

I'd take the shitty wood house. The smell of nigs is never going away in Brazilian built houses.

They're actually pretty well made, sure they look like shit, but you can live in one fine and it won't fall on your head, plus bullets won't go through the walls and kill you.
Housing is largely fueled by the real estate industry, which is concerned with making money above all else.

I live in an earthquake zone. An unreinforced brick building is a death trap.
>>61581205
No cavity wall?
wood is significantly cheaper (in usa) with good insulation
America is prone to natural disasters. And unlike Japan, they aren't intelligent enough to build houses that can stand up to earthquakes and tornadoes.

Reinforce it then..

love this meme
American suburb houses cost less than favela houses for a reason.

Nah, we don't have this gay shit here.

How true is this statement
>>61590626
Just look at those mortar droppings. That would be totally unacceptable here.
>>61581205
we have wood so we build wood
>>61588644
Yes because housing should largely be based on natural disasters you fucking twat
>>61581205
Did you come to this conclusion from seeing homes getting demolished by tornados? Because let me tell you right now, even your brick favela homes would be leveled by tornadoes.
>>61581205
Yea, it's ridiculous... they even have problem with insects eating their houses and they have to leave the house and fumigate it... I mean just build real houses already...
>>61591831
What is a mortar dropping? All buildings here are made like this.
>>61592546
You can't even host an Olympics. How the fuck you gonna talk about building a house?
>>61591831
We aren't known for our workers efficiency
>>61592464
Kek, I remember this from Breaking Bad. They must use really hard chemicals.
>muh tornadoes
picrel- EF-3 on tornado scale

ef3=136-165mp/h

And EF-3 in the US for a comparison

Bricks houses have much higher material costs and takes longer to build, so employment costs will also be higher. As an average income American or neighborhood contractor you can choose between a bigger house made of wood or a smaller house made of brick when having a set budget. Most people will take the space over the perks of brick buildings (isolation, noise, strength etc.)
