My fellow americans, this would cause their housing prices to collapse, and their population would naturally boom. we must prevent the europoor from stealing our technology, no matter the cost. we must increase our coordinated efforts to post anti-american housing memes outside of pol, lest the eurocuck enter the 21st century.

>>509664852
Stick construction lasts 1-2 lifetimes, by which time the situation in this country will be radically different, likely requiring relocation at scale. Since the US is still in the formative years of its civilization, it is better to allocate fewer resources for a temporary solution for now, allowing more resources for longer term solutions later. You wouldn't want to invest in a 800 year house only for the town you built it in to become a ghost town because the primary economic driver of the area became obsolete.
But, of course, the jews have stolen and will continue to steal all of the capital preserved in this way, so it is kind of pointless. We're just poor and that is what we can sometimes afford, maybe.

We have more lumber, so it's cheaper to build houses like this every couple of hundred years. That cost is reflected in the cost of insuring them for the rare occasions when they are knocked down.

Kit houses from the early 1900s are still standing a century later and are some of the most valued properties in the US.

The problem was never making houses out of wood, the problem is doing a shitty job of it with undocumented low skill labor. A brick house sloppily mortared together by apes is just as shitty as a lumber house sloppily fastened together by apes.

I live in a red brick house, but it was built in the 1950's and is brick veneer i.e. brick over a wood frame.

Once the wood gets old, it becomes very hard. I think it could last longer than that. Your issues will still be with the roof, the foundation, maybe the windows. But the structural members should remain good as long as they aren't destroyed by water.

>>509669519
And the extra cost isn't so much in the materials, even though they are slightly more expensive. It's the labor and time that makes it so pricey.

Almost everyone in Sweden uses bricks, stone or concrete blocks to build houses with. Im posting from a brick house right now (built 3 years ago).

That might be the reason for house fires. But electrocution happens when you put a voltage across your heart. There's usually plenty of amperage to do the job, so I'd suspect voltage is more important, a 220V line more dangerous than 110V.

The classic midwit fucking thing to say. Voltage and amperage are both just ways of measuring a phenomenon. Put your fingers across a 24 car battery with hundreds of CCA. What happens? Fucking nothing cuz the voltage is too low to push the amps through the resistance of your body.

It's classic "it's not the fall that kills you it's the ground" meme shit and it frustrates me when retards say it.

>>509669633
Well now that should be fixable. We have more and more robotic methods. Stick construction is cheap because somehow we have a good supply of illegal labor that knows how to do it, even though it's less common in their home countries.

American homes suck any other opinion is copium as are people claiming they're more wind resistant. They technically are more earthquake resistant in that it's less likely to suffer a catastrophic cave in during an earthquake but any stone home built in the US would be framed internally with a stone wall being an exterior finish regardless. Code for most solid stone only homes is something like 18" because they haven't been commonly built in 200 years and never really were in quake zones anyway.

Stick homes suck. A modernist icf/steel home btfos them all anyway unless you're spending multiple generations of wealth building a double framed solid stone home which even rich people won't do anymore.

>>509664697 (OP)
Wood is literally the second most abundant renewable resource on earth to water. Why the fuck wouldn't we use it? Its a fantastic resource

>>509670094
Speaking of wind resistance, in Oklahoma where they get frequent tornado storms, it's common to build with stone, whole subdivisions of them, presumably over wood frame because they aren't very old.

Collapsed from the bottom. Not adequately protected from side load on that massive 2nd-3rd floor block over the little 1st floor, or maybe twisting wind load. I can't blame that on the use of wood, but the design.

Wood is stronger than brick. There are taller timber framed buildings in the world than brick. Brick buildings might as well be made of toothpicks if you live anywhere where earthquakes, hurricanes or high winds happen which is like 80% of the country because brick can't flex and just fails under stress. Anywhere where lumber is abundant it will be used to build houses(america, scandinavia etc) or where earthquakes tornados etc are common (america japan china etc)

>>509670416
Yeah but it's like putting on makeup. It's still ugly and weak beneath the mask. I don't even think structural mortar is needed per code for veneer work.

The reality is our homes suck because the people who build them are low IQ retards, the people who sell them don't care, and the people who buy them dont know any better.

The superior European construction without any wood.

Fun Europe fact those tilt turn windows they all seem to love more than their families is because they can't build openings in the structure to allow for large sliding windows. Bricks don't have any tension strength only compressive so they can only have tiny windows. The idea of a 2m wide window is almost unknown in residential buildings.

Per FEMA, in 2023 the US saw 100 residential fires per 100K. 7% of those (7 per 100K) were electrical fires.
https://www.usfa.fema.gov/statistics/residential-fires/electrical.html

Per the NL Times (since, curiously, I can't find any government reporting of statistics on residential fires from the Netherlands), in 2023 there were 45 residential fires per 100K. According to NAAAIS (a Netherlands company that makes fire safety equipment), a third of those (15 per 100K) were electrical fires.
https://nltimes.nl/2023/07/28/sharp-increase-house-fires-netherlands-4000-first-half-2023

So despite the US having double the per capita rate of residential fires compared to the Netherlands, the Netherlands has double the per capita rate of residential electrical fires. This is largely blamed on the number of homes in the Netherlands that are built substandard to the country's electrical codes (a third of homes in the Netherlands rate an E, F, or G for electrical consumption), and because the codes themselves are outdated (residential electrical codes in the Netherlands are almost 15 years out of date).

The biggest cause of residential fires in the US are cooking related (over two-thirds of fires), and are heavily skewed towards the elderly and towards African Americans. African American men averaged across all age groups are twice as likely to be killed in a residential fire than the average American, and for African Americans over retirement age it's five times more likely.

Croatia has 6.2-6.4 every few years.

>There are stronger earthquakes every 6 months in america than ever recorded in serbia.
Yes in certain areas. There I would be fine with wood.

>>509671421
Yes and I have this in some parts of my house and it truly is good but americans almost never do that because they're actually cheap cunts who will blow their money on dumb shit instead of what really matters.

>>509664852
They're not. Unfortunately you're all retarded.

>>509664697 (OP)
no excuse anon, you are absolutely right

>>509672991
Is this why you literally die in what’s considered nice weather everywhere else? Picrelated is today and converted to commie units for your convenience, also it’s 43% humidity so don’t even think about trying that cope

>>509673219
>americans don't do thing they all do but I imagine they don't because it gives me an unearned feeling of superiority for some reason
eat shit faggot, you're not even from this continent but you have a lot of opinions on how interior walls seem to be constructed lol

>>509673097
No, I said 125+ per day total. I did not say 125+ per capita per day.

>>509670094
You say this, but if a pipe breaks or you want a new outlet in a brick house that easily a week of work

Another pol building science thread where everyone speaks authoritatively despite having no idea what they're talking about.

>>509665300
Correct take. Why the fuck would you need to have the houses in your subdivision to made to last over a century when in all likelihood it'll be overrun with niggers and spics in 15-20 years and you need to move house again to another new development?

>>509673300
a combination of multiple factors. mostly the fact that we don't have AC like you guys, so many old people who cannot handle the heat just... die
also the USA counts heat deaths differently, you guys use death certificates while Europe uses statistical modelling so there are big discrepancies

>>509664852
>coldest temperatures are well above freezing
Brick falls apart here, from frost heave as well as water ingress. See those weep holes? Up here they just freeze and break. Look around Google Street View at all the masonry repair work on brick buildings here. It's not viable for homeowners, just giant corporations and 99% of them just use concrete with a non-structural brick facade, if any brick at all.

That looks comfy, by a lake.
I want to preserve an old house and our heritage and we build far more wooden houses before.
I personally have a distaste of modern brick houses as they're no different then a box and then people want to decorate it white and black internally.. no wonder people are depressed..

So, a reddit thread essentially. Duel citizens of 4chan/reddit.

>A frame is peak design
the interior is bad.
major temperature difference between the floors.
and uneven furniture due to the walls.

Looks good. Slap some plaster on it and list it at 100k

until you find out about the mosquitos.

KEK

Americans build wooden houses that can weather a category 5 hurricane, meanwhile Europeans like to build shit that reminds them of their cold war slave masters.

>>509665300
>Since the US is still in the formative years of its civilization
KEK do you actually believe that? The US wont exist in less than 100 years.

>>509674235
I've lived around mosquitoes my entire life, grew up on the countryside in a house by a river (parents house obviously).
You haven't learned how to fight them yet?

>>509664852
Because wood was the most abundant and readily available material to work with on this continent for the last two centuries. As a result entire inustries and ways of building have been couched into the system and its not something that you can just up end because someone on /pol/ made a thread making fun of it.

>>509673853
But don't Euros also have brick houses? Is Canada really that much colder?

>>509666542
Euro buildings are not beautiful these days either
modern cancer has no soul

Castles are not made of wood

And that's the truth

>>509664697 (OP)
They can't afford bricks, they're a luxury over there only rich people can afford LMAO
>Meanwhile in Argentina

>>509674694
Do you think it's intentional or a reflection of the post-modern collective consciousness?

>>509674448
The us government probably won’t exist past this century but the people will still be here. We’re just in the phase every society has where they find out about democracy and think it’s the best thing ever and more votes == more better. Turns out it’s fucking retarded to let people without a stake in society (women, non-land owners, etc) decide what happens to it and there will be some kind of course correction “soon” once that becomes common knowledge

Canada is legitimately Siberia-tier cold, euros have no idea
