    I was so confused too as a Brit since our houses are made of brick and mortar. I still find it weird that houses in NA are made out of wood and plasterboard/drywall

      When wood is cheaper then rocks you make things out of wood.

      Then you get in the habit of using wood.

      Then it doesn’t matter what happens, you keep using wood cause fuck changing shit.

      We have earthquakes here. Plaster and bricks are great for insulating, but they crumble when the ground shakes.
