>Americlaps will defend this

>walls literally made from wooden frames

No wonder they can't withstand strong wind

There is an american carpenter/framer on /int/ who defends this. Canadian suburban houses are built like this too, but Canadian suburbs are filled with chinks and poos. I live in a 19th century house made of bricks on a stone foundation, thank you very much.

american is a new country, places like those had nothing just 60 years ago

the interstates accelerated population movement across the us, majority of americans live in houses younger than they are

it is not some ideology, it is just the way things are

100 years ago those houses would be wooden logs

>wearing shoes indoors

Do Amerifats really do this??

>>78732256
is she indoors though?

>>78732256
I believe unless they're being stored in a refrigeration unit, it's the custom to keep them on at all times.

californian- wood houses are cheaper, and are better in earthquakes.
Wood homes last, if they don't get damaged by water.

The big new change is prefab. less framers, more crane and flat bed trucks

Why do Americans live in shitty, fragile wooden disposable houses?

Don't they have brick houses or something?

>>78735424
other people live in those

>>78732226
Is there an earthquake also in America?
In Japan,there is an earthquake --_;

>>78732256
No, we don't.

>>78735424
We do have brick houses. But people often prefer wooden houses because they're cheaper. The idea of "owning a home" is very important for Americans, and this leads us to sometimes buy houses that are lower quality.

As far as I know it's standard all over America to take your shoes off inside a house. Or at least it is east of the Rocky Mountains, I have no idea what those West Coasters do.

>>78732112
At least the floor is clean

>>78735487
yes but not as often

>>78735505
There's a saying here that says "lo barato sale caro"
Not sure what's the English equivalent, but the idea is that cheaping out often will come and bite you in the ass.

>>78732112
I felt this movies

>>78732112
So, americans live in literal cardboard boxes?

>>78732112
ill defend it if it means even slightly cheaper houses

>>78732112
>fly-over states
We should just use the entire midwest as a nuclear testing site.
