Every footage of destroyed building from Israel reveals they use concrete. How did they manage to convince Americans to use cardboard for their houses?

Wood is better. It's easier to repair and upgrade.

Houses in America are made of cardboard, so they are constantly rebuilt or undergo extensive maintenance to keep americans in debt forever.

>>508058568
why would you repair your house?, i havent repair mine even after an earthquake

Wood is SOVL. Concrete is soulless

If Rainbow Dash is your god wouldnt that imply shes a man?

we have tornadoes and hurricanes, that will wreck a concrete or brick house just the same and it's cheaper to rebuild in wood. Actual stick frame construction, not the plywood in today's mcmansions.

we also have hurricanes in mexico, a cat 4 hit my city and it didnt destroyed a single building, only broken windows

I can't blame people for building brick houses in the 60s-90s, but while those houses are still standing and solid, it turned out to be retarded.

Building techniques, materials, comforts, demands, etc. have advanced so much these past decades that even a 90s home is hopelessly outdated. Nobody here who buys a house like that leaves anything but a couple of outside walls (for tax reasons, as knocking it down completely gets taxed more heavily).
All electricity, gas, heating, AC, glass, roofs, etc. gets redone, and this will just happen more and more as. Building future proof is outdated. None of your kids are going to keep your house as you leave it. It might as well be built to last 20 years instead.

That's a mobile home. It's manufactured and flies apart in the slightest breeze. Only old and really poor people live in them because they can't afford anything better. They call the Alabama state bird because of all the tornados.

But why are so many places being built like shit completely for profit? My apartment was built in 2008 and theres constantly plumbing issues and the walls and floor are so thin I can hear my upstairs neighbor fart.

earthquakes are what causes brick buildings to tumble down. a 6.9 earthquake in california kills 60 people. a 6.7 in italy kills 30,000 people. even a minor tremor in italy will cause a ton of buildings to crumble and kill 30 people.

>A country that didn't exist 80 years ago decided we should build houses out of the cheapest & most abundant material on the most abundant land that takes a year to build instead of building expensive concrete buildings where we'd be beholden to a landlord and put into multi-family unit housing once it's finished in a few years at times where the American family was seeing rapid growth & income increases.

It probably makes sense now that everyone is poor, land is all bought up & families can't afford to have 7 children.

This is the same shit MIC says to hide the idea that their product need a shitton of maintenance, I've learn mutt pilpul

>>508058439 (OP)
We build using all kinds of materials over here retard, not every house is a spic made shack like in the big city suburbs.

How often do you think wooden houses have issues? I've lived in a house from the 60s & only had to replace the roof fascia from rot, only cost 15 dollars per foot

>>508058439 (OP)

You can't build apartment buildings out of cardboard. In America, people mostly live in detached houses, and at some point, someone figured out that a big and impressive-looking house, even if cheaply built, sells well.

i am not cooking to death in the summer, just so i can jerk off in my brick house.

Concrete still gets bombed and roached out by drones and hypersonic missiles, faggot.

>>508063598
Depends when they were built
If they used decent sized kiln dried lumber for framing
They are pushing this engineered wood everywhere nowadays though, I see it more often in new builds
Mine is from the late '50s and built properly, hasn't moved an inch so far
