Americans should start building their houses like Europeans. Made from brick, mortar and good insulation. Your houses are made from wood and paper.
looks around at countless houses made from wood I guess northern Sweden, which gets below -30°c every year, lost its European status.
Earthquakes would say otherwise for at least part of the US. Also, without full-time mechanical ventilation, that would be misery in a lot of the US. The climate is also different to some places in Europe and varies hugely on US region
Nothing wrong with wood as a construction material. The key factor is the insulation.
You do realize that there's insulation in those walls right. That's the whole point of wood frame construction; you stuff the gaps between studs full of several inches of insulation. Besides, most of a homes heat loss isn't through the walls anyways. It's through any openings in those walls (windows, doors, etc) and through the roof.
Isn't the whole point of woodframe construction to use wood?
Europeans still have insulation in the wall cavity.
Such ignorant shit
./confidentlyincorrect
nobody can afford that here lol
Stop with this nonsense. This is the financial illiteracy that is being pointed out how Democrats lost because of the "economy".
Housing purchasing went up in price for a short while but stopped increasing so rapidly. More Gen Z owns their home by 30 than millennials. The rate is on par with gen x.
Most people in this country can afford a house and the upper third can afford very very nice houses.
It does not have to be brick and mortar. The house with the best insulation I know is made of wood and straw bales.
