Brick houses

They also look much better than the OP.

I live in a brick house built in the 19th century. They don't build them like they used to.

A tornado is not going to tear down a double brick home unless it directly hits it
also it doesn't matter how many 'brick homes' your suburb has, I can almost guarantee they do not use ceramic roof tiles and that plastic shit looks cheap as fuck

>>73860196
It's not a suburb, retard, nor does it use "plastic shit".

but what do you do if there's an earthquake??

>>73858982
You're right. Now they build them with better materials, better foundations, better insulation, better technique and better just about everything.

Iber houses are the best

>>73860196
I see plenty of homes with ceramic roofs. Plastic wouldn't hold up against the heat and cold at all. We can't even use wood shingles because of the fire hazard. Our homes aren't that different than yours straya.

even the cheapest homes in australia are not built like american homes, they at the very least have a tiled or metal roof
this bullshit you see on 99% of american homes, plywood roof with a coating of tar over the top, you live in a fast food outlets

?

I'm saying that even the weakest class of tornado can launch debris at high-enough speeds to completely destroy brick houses (hell, even most bank vaults aren't sturdy enough to withstand a direct hit).

And even if a house is still standing after a tornado, the internal structure is usually so completely fucked up that you have to tear down most of the house and rebuild it again anyway.

t. grew up in a brick house that was leveled by a tornado back in 1999

And finally, Cantabrian house

>>73875169
Dont worry, neither me, that house are fucking expensive

>>73875604
they look so nice and comfy

>>73875559
Hmm, these Cantabrian houses look like our houses way back. If you Spaniards have anything under your belt, it's creating pretty architecture.

>hey, there's lots of tornados here. maybe we should build our houses in a safer area?
>AWW HELL NAWW

>>73876497
It's literally the most fertile farmland in the US. Even though there's lots of tornadoes there, your chances of being hit by one are still astronomically small. There are people in tornado alley who live their entire lives without seeing one.

Please help. Alaska is being consumed by these things.

>>73877745
What is Alaska like? I always found it very beautiful and I wanted to live there (I am aware of the general dangers of living there). What are the demographics, economy and general development of Alaska?

>>73858347

>inspect photo
>walk outside

What are these hard blocks making up my home? I thought I ordered a copy paper house.

>>73862238

Metal roofs are becoming pretty popular here. Asphalt shingles are still the norm, but more and more I am seeing people replace or build new houses with metal roofs.

It isn't just even the Midwest that gets hit by them. The southeast and even up into the mid Atlantic gets them. It's just literally the nature of the land.

Economics? Stratified due to the high costs of everything: you either have a well-paying career, connections to someone with a career, are part of the military, a native who gets some benefits, or are a poor person, or if you're a native that made particularly bad decisions, a poor native. Most of the chaff are centered in downtown Anchorage/Fairbanks and you can tell the good neighborhoods from the bad by how well they keep the exteriors of the buildings. The drunks usually don't stray outside these sections of cities, and when you move out to the bush they vanish completely, though lately I've been hearing of hooligans moving into to richer places to carjack in Anchorage, and drug dealers sometimes hide in forest-side trails.

View is indeed beautiful. Living outside the city center gives you quick access to the forests, and the mountains can be seen universally. What they don't tell you is how dark it gets. Around winter time, you can get as low to 3 to 5 hours of light a day depending on where you live, and for the far regions like Barrow, it's simply lights out for a month. Constant darkness can drive people batty, and it also means lots suffer from Vitamin D deficiency.

Economy has been in a slight rut for the past two years as we've hit repeated bureaucratic rumblings on how to handle government spending in tandem with a drop in our oil prices leading to downsizing, which tends to directly impact the demand for every other industry as people move in and out. Medical personnel and commercial pilots are always in demand. You still get an annual paycheck just from living here, but it's not going to pay for a month of living on its own at this point. These recession typically don't last longer than a couple years, and it is predicted things will be normalizing "normalizing" around early 2018.

One other fun tidbit: you get to see F-22s and soon F-35s on a monthly to weekly basis if you chose to live in vicinity of any of the air bases.

Thanks for the extensive reply Alaskabro.

>>73878916
Also, Alaska seems to have a crime (theft, murder, rape) problem, but I've been told it's mostly the Natives fucking with eachother by some Amerianons.

>>73879261

Correct, crime is largely centered around feuds which can lead to shootouts (we got at least one last year), but occasionally some asshole will try and break into a car if they think nobody is looking. While this is to be expected from the seedier areas (look for slashed tires), a couple have tried to steal from the upper hill neighborhoods that contain the actual homes of the police force: one's been caught, the other is being searched for last I checked. Police will generally act favorably if you speak to them kindly, with the exception of the beat cops who patrol down town. Overt pick pockets aren't to common, but if you lose your smart phone or wallet or something a negro (nignogs likewise exist here in small number) will more likely loot it than try and give it back; I lost 600.00$ that way once. It hurt.

Universities function as leftist embassies and in the case of Anchorage intersect with strip malls so you can expect to bump into the hipster or occasionally worse, but THE leftist embassy out of all of them is located in Fairbanks, in the half of UAF that isn't devoted to STEM.

One more question, what is the Panhandle like?
It seems beautiful, and I think they extract gold there, don't know much else. I know that it's probably the most isolated place in the US.

Unfortunately It's been over a decade since I last toured there, and I can't give you any information that you couldn't find on a search engine. It's significantly warmer around the handle than core Alaska and the trees grow to large proportions. The remoteness means transportation to and from there is pretty darned expensive, and tourism is just as big an industry as logging and mining.

That reminds me: because of Alaska's constant sunlight, out in the valley the farmers are able to grow some rather mean crops. Just last year, I hauled home a zucchini that was perhaps 14 pounds from the state fair for a few dollars. Enough for a week's meal! Sunflower growing is a major pastime up there, and their largest stalks can grow several feet tall. On an unrelated note, a few years back, one of our major pastures closed down after local milk production became unprofitable.

Thanks for the answers Alaskabro, take care.
