American houses are made out of cardboard and held together by snot.

   Yesterday I broke an entire house with a hammer that wasn't even that big. Wtf? I can take these houses with my bare hands I bet.
   
   Where I'm from, the houses are made out of steel reinforced concrete, and have bulletproof doors. And metal bars on the windows... And bomb shelters with escape tunnels underneath.

   Concrete retains heat. This is why people in hot climates use wood, clay, and adobe.
   
   Also you probably grew up in a shitty area. I bet the nice houses in your country are built just like the paper American houses you are bitching about.

   This is funny, because the cardboard houses that I know are located in the most northwestern state in the U.S., which is far far from hot in climate. On the other hand, the steel reinforced concrete houses of which I spoke earlier are located in a literal desert... You got things backwards?
   
   Also no, most of the houses are made of some brick or concrete in my old place.
   
   Here is an old apartment building form the 50s, and also new construction single family houses as well. They're both concrete...
   
   
   
   
   
   In America you can drive a car through most houses.

   In the States, it is all about efficiency these days.
   
   It is pretty damn hard to insulate a concrete house.

   Whats more efficient? Insulating a whole house, or insulating your body with warm clothes?

   Actually, you can build a super efficient home with solar panels that uses a net zero cost basis.

   Pretty much in all of Europe they use bricks and concrete and whatnot to build houses.

    fact.
    
    there are new houses where I live starting at $400k and they're not even worth $150k.
    
    everything is OSB and glued-wood. cheapest shit the developer can buy.

    concrete is the ideal construction material.
    
    the only reason it isn't used more is due to price and cost.

    I know of a roofing company that installed a certain type of vent in every house they did...then the developer discovered every single one was installed wrong so they leaked.
    
    it would have been $800k to replace them.
    
    the roofing company snuck their trailers off the site in the
    middle of the night...disco'd their phones...and moved.
