why do americans build their houses out of cardboard? every

because if you forget your house key you can simply walk through the wall and get inside.

>By contrast, most large forests in Europe were clear cut several hundred years ago. These original forests have never been allowed to return to their original state; the population density of Europe simply does not allow it. By the law of supply and demand, wood prices in Europe are significantly higher than they are in North America. There is also a tradition of construction in Europe which involves masonry, and which goes back several hundred (even thousands) of years. Most Europeans are surprised when they visit North America and notice that the vast majority of houses are built primarily of wood. Similarly, most Americans visiting Europe are frequently surprised that most European houses are not built with wood.


Europeans are too retarded to log properly and laugh at us because we haven't fucked over our wood supply like they did

I love that kind of houses though, look comfy af

That house is fine. I think you're just shitposting out of jealousy because you live in a manure-brick hovel in the pampas.

Argentina is not located in europe and we have woods.
we just don't fashion our houses out of cardboard.

>>70965851
This. We export wood to Europe from the south that is farmed responsibly but the euros just want to burn it all up for renewable energy

>>70965851
Yes, but it's easier for a serial killer or a thief to come into your house

stone is better protection than wood

>stone is better protection than wood
From artillery shells, maybe. But then, I suppose that's a legitimate concern when you share a continent with bloodthirsty savages who have to be handcuffed to each other by NATO to keep from starting another world war

At least once a year, you see on TV how a tornado has ripped through tornado alley and all the bits of wood are spread everywhere. And year after year, you guys keep building your wooden huts in the same place.

>>70966766
I never understood this either.
why the fuck build a house where you know there's tornados to begin with?
and even if you absolutely have to, why build it out of a material that you know is not going to withstand the slightest storm?

I just don't get it.

australian houses look like shit desu

just because of "muh australian dream" you decided to have massive suburban sprawls of shitty red brick bungalows with literally no character to the architecture.

they're basically commieblocks without any of the benefits.

>>70965851
OP is from america too.

>>70966766


Australian houses look the same as americans Bruce except that you don't have tornados but you do have sandstorms.

Same reason as the Japs tear down residential buildings every 30 years. Nobody wants to deal with the problems and cost sink of an old home.
