    Brick manufacturing devastates the environment. We build our houses from sustainable resources.because we’re not cavemen.

      Meanwhile most of your energy sources are not renewable and per capita the average emissions of the American is double or even triple of the average European.

      Why the aggressive tone? Each technique has its advantages. I guess brick and mortar houses would burn less in California, which has the same climate as Italy and Spain

        Whether or not the house burns to the ground is irrelevant when the damage caused by the heat alone would condemn a brick/stone house in the US. At least wood frame houses can be easily tore down and rebuilt.

      That is not the reasoning at all.

      Places generally build with whatever sensical building material they have most widely available. If there are a ton of forests, they probably build with wood. If there’s a ton of stone, they probably build with stone.

      You’re wrong, and honestly kind of a dick.
