Why do Americans make houses out of cardboard?

Is this how they can afford all those big trucks?

Don’t see a problem with it. Concrete foundation, wood frame, exterior wrap and than a facade of your choice.

Its either brick and mortar (plus structural rebar bars) or GTFO americucks!

we donate most of our salaries to Israel and Africa after buying houses and eating at Burger King

based argie
first thing that came into my mind as well

Its so big

It would either be full of holes (raw wood) in the walls, or cost like 15 times more (laminated wood), than normal frame house.

The only two economic options are bricks and frame houses.
Bricks being pretty expensive to heat up or cool down.

It's cheap and sturdy. Obviously don't build a wood house in a tornado prone area but other than that it's a thumbs up. Also we have a lot of lumber

Depends on materials they used to build it. Usually it's pretty flammable. But it's possible to make it more fire resistant than concrete. Would not even cost much or change the technology to produce the house on any stage.

> complain that housing is too expensive and that there's not enough of it
> in the same breath, complain that we're using cheap materials to get things stood up as quickly as possible

Those materials are cheap at the store. At the finished building you pay order of magnitude more.

I can't take the bullying anymore user, its getting to my head

Nice time for a thread, considering the UK and Netherlands are about to see their brickmeme die overnight to 144kph winds

new builds are very safe from fire as modern building codes mandate overhead sprinkers.

And they probably charge One million dollars for shit like this.

How many years can this house hold on?

>How many years can this house hold on?
Centuries, just like the wood houses in my cities older section

houses built with wood can last for ever 100 years. but since those building 100 years ago didn't have the technology we have today a lot of them have problems with the foundation settling and warped flooring.

>Cardboard
That's Canadian softwood lumber. Not sure what kinda trees grow in....
*hovers cursor over flag*
Thailand, but up here in North America wood is good

Depending on where you live a house that size could cost as low as 300-400k.

Also houses built like that during the 50s when the housing market began to explode in America are still standing strong so they can last pretty long.

I mean without constant renovation.
