   @stux There's a big supply of lumber and wood frame homes are much quicker to build. But also, brick / concrete structures need expensive reinforcement to withstand either hurricane winds or earthquakes, while wood's ability to flex makes it much more resistant. That means that building a standards-compliant home is much more expensive with masonry than it is with wood.

     Jokes aside, why are many American homes build so woody? Cheaper to replace afterwards or?
