I hate when Europeans get all high and mighty and be like “why are American houses so flimsy, why are they made of wood, why are they xyz” and I can’t answer for most people but here on the Pacific Northwest EARTHQUAKES BRO FUCKING EARTHQUAKES!!!!! Do you know how bad it would be have a rigid brick house in a big earthquake?!?!?! That shit would crumble!!! You need to make houses out of flexible materials like wood!!!
