Out of soft wood and cardboard?
In some of the most tornado dense regions on earth?
Is this the Low burger IQ in action? Or something more sinister at play?
For reference see this F4 tornado in Europe:

The house has 0.5m thick stone walls, the occupants ain't even worried. But burgers would be dead.
What is wrong with burgers?

It’s all about speed of development and cost cutting measures. Cheap and quick, one of the mantras of the US.
You can't inexpensively make a house that will stand an F3 tornado much less an F4-F5.
If you try you will find them to be death traps as heavy stone or unreinforced cement walls will fall on the residents inside and kill them. The light construction actually saves lives.
In tornado zones many new homes come with underground shelters. Only an underground one can survive an F5 tornado.
at least they can live in a home
But aren't burgers rich? Why aren't you building F5 resistant stone homes?
>Why aren't you building F5 resistant stone homes?
There is no such thing unless it's undergound
>For reference see this F4 tornado in Europe:
Thats an F2. F4 and F5s will scrub homes off their foundations and bend steel poles flat down to the ground.
Do you have any idea how much a stone house costs to build, new? Especially one with half-meter thick walls?
Stone masons are a rarity nowadays, and they charge a king's ransom for that kind of work. A 1500sq.ft house would cost $2M+ with that level of build quality. Reinforced concrete would be a little cheaper but you're still looking at $1.4M+.
This isn't the 1600s where building codes and inspections and exorbitant taxes do not exist, like they did in olde Europe.
Also these.
Nothing is spared in these things that sits above ground. They rip grass off of golfing greens.
>But aren't burgers rich? Why aren't you building F5 resistant stone homes?
Because its about impossible to build a house that can withstand 200+MPH winds.
The other problem is tornados hurl objects, now imagine a house getting hit by a flying car thats going 200mph.
The 1999 tornado in OKC was thought to have winds up to 300mph. Along the highway junction of I240 there were those steel L-bracket fence poles which are very strong either uprooted or bent down to the ground.
Even the grass was pulled out of the ground.
Maybe if you constructed a concrete dome but it would certainly not be a fun place to live.
bro. we are building them for 100k$ a pop here. and everyone can do it. you are just poor

Only real men live in Oklahoma, Aussie pussies not wanted.
Imagine living anywhere near earthquakes and tornados
>But aren't burgers rich?
The fucking poor people live in Tornado alley. Because land comes cheap if there's a high chance you can fucking die on it.
I forgot. US laws and building codes and the construction industry in the US are ALL exactly similar to those in Hungary. How stupid of me!
everyone also forgot to mention, the areas with tornados don't have many naturally occurring building materials anywhere near them. Even lumber is hard to come by, especially in the plains. Natives used teepees and adobe mudhuts for a reason.
Architecture isnt worth much in the US, even in cities. Its all about land value. Stone houses arent just hard to build, they are hard to demolish, which reduces future land value as it's a very permanent structure that may get in the way of future development.
in alot of places it's just more cost effective and practical to truck in a doublewide and put it on cinderblocks, and dig a storm shelter, than it is to build a house, even a cheap timber frame house. A doublewide might last 5-10 years and costs 100-150k. you let the tornado destroy it or burn it down yourself, and get a new doublewide. with insurance money. vs. spending 1m+ on some permanent structure that takes 2 years to build, that's still gonna cost you 50k in maintenance annually and is still going to get blown over.
there's plenty of luxury housing in tornado prone areas built with better materials but they are -luxury- housing. It's a status symbol, not something that's practical.
>Political implications of burgers building matchstick homes
Americans do this because its cheap and quick. Cost cutting is very smart. Real men can live with the danger of collapsing homes.
Also get up to date. After 50 years of intensive research America has discovered a way to build homes without cardboard and sticks. And its even cheaper.
>Is this the Low burger IQ in action? Or something more sinister at play?
Low IQ of ameritards
its like I am watching chinks
Lol the goose made it.
>But aren't burgers rich?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
You can get a doublewide trucked onto your property in 2 months or less, with a couple phone calls. You can get the concrete pad, septic, power and cable brought in even sooner, with one phone call a piece.
Building a house involves hiring a dozen different specialists, a 2ft high stack of contracts, constant supervision and potential political wrangling with a city council or zoning board. You need a whole stack of different project managers and a hundred different people working under them to handle it.
Some people manage it themselves, but its a full time job that can last multiple years. Hence why "developer" is a full time profession.
>foam home
WAIT...
That must be a troll. That'll go up like gasoline on a warm day.
What is you with you retards and your hard one for this thread? Like every three days for the past how many years? Do you shill for the brick lobby or something? Fuck you retards, this is why we can't have good discussions. Retarded shill bot posts and retarded anons who always take the bait.
>any fucking white person when confronted with an area that produces tornadoes:
terraform the land and add natural obstacles to prevent the wind from creating tornadoes
>amerimutts when faced with tornadoes
make carboard houses and talk about how manly it is to get killed by a slight wind
>foam houses.webm
>>foam houses.webm
americans are so fucking poor that they can no longer afford cartboard and matches
its the homedepot contractors buying bullshit in the same store as single mothers buy their hammers instead of going to a lumber yard.
Yeah why not build the homes under ground? How often does a whole neighborhood have to be destroyed before its worth it?
been tried, its dumb. you must be one of those eurotards that think they can drive from NYC to disneyworld and back in a day, huh?
the US is HUGE and tornados develop over thousands of miles of open plains. you cannot terraform land that expansive and flat, where trees won't even grow. Where the only thing keeping the land from turning into dust and blowing away, are the crops grown on thag very flat land.
and obstacles dont always prevent tornados. There are tornados in appalachian valleys that are 500M wide with 500m near-vertical mountains on each side.
Tornadoes will destroy houses no matter what so why not make them cheap to rebuild
hahaha ha ! american wood houses
i say it , thats the matrix man , he play games .
we in germany have directly left and right on land roads ( 100kmh ) trees .
thats all not normal
land shifts and is unstable in those areas, and undergound houses have major issues with flooding and moisture and mold control.
there was a fad a while back for underground or semi-underground concrete dome houses. Most have been abandoned by the current year. Once they crack and leak there's not much you can do to fix it.
Earthships were also cool for a bit, and 20 years later people found they aren't worth the hassle. Alot of problems.
>ain't even worried
>'tis but a minor breeze
