Why are American homes made out of cheap card board?

what's with all the arseblasted amerilards in here lmao

So they're torn down every 75 years and the new owner goes into debt to the bank. Nothing is made to last anymore.

Yes we do not plaster everything. This way it can be repaired and replaced more efficiently. Why are Eurofags so wasteful and stuck in the old ways?

That house is brick m8, also my house is brick. If you live in a climate that you don't need heavy insulation you don't need to raise the cost to build the house. In America we have many options to chose from for house construction; the only cheap houses I know of are double wide trailers converted into cheap houses.

niggers have always lived in cheap shanties

The wood frame is highly modifiable and easily extended or replaced. You ever try adding a bedroom to one of your log cabins?

>muh bong architecture

your great great grandparents should have added enough rooms to the house when they built it

Well I guess if you live in your parent's house that is how one thinks.

You being for real, limey?

Kys

This.

Stop paying the government their protection money and see how long you last

Do you idiots not have plywood and sheetrock?

Shits great

No they don't, they like mold and mildew to build up over the years to make life even more dreary.

>facede bricks
>made out of bricks
lmfao

Thats because drywall, or sheet rock as it is referred too over there, is 10 times easier to repair than plaster and much cheaper to buy in bulk. Yes, plaster is markedly stronger, but when plaster does get damage, its also very expensive to repair. Drywall/sheet rock can be repaired by anyone with little effort. So little effort that even if you don't know how to repair it, hiring someone to do it for you won't cost you half your monthy paycheck.

What about concrete or brick?

How fucking dumb are you. Any property you think you “own” you actually permanently lease. If you dont pay uncle s(((c))))am your yearly property tax, that lease ends

The exterior could be brick, but interior is always drywall. Even inside high rise and skyscrapers they'll still hang drywall to steel supports. No one ever builds a house with concrete.

You just answered your own question, its cheaper. Land does not cost much in america so the price of housing is more based on cost of construction.

Why

In tons of places, houses are built with comcrete. Never been to the carribean?

Because retards and "muh beach view"

I was referring within the USA. There are tons of cheaper options to use here, which is mainly why no one uses concrete for residential domiciles.

why do you think it was so cheap to buy the house Germanbro? also if they need to buy cheap theres your answer to why no insurance

>living in a hurricane zone at all
>living in an earthquake zone for that matter
I have no idea why retards do this, but humanity is full of examples of dumb fucks throwing their money away. I'll never live in an area that is prone to natural disasters.

This actually brings up a good point. What kind of natural disasters do people in bongland face? Here we've got all kinds of stupid shit to deal with. Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, windy conditions that don't even involve tornadoes that are still capable of ripping a roof off. All of these things will still strip down even a brick building, making the cost to repair these things quite high. This is probably why we've moved to using less durable, but cheaper materials over all.

Well, there's a few reasons.

Compared to the UK, the USA is a very young country. You'd be hard pressed to find a 200+ year old home here save for on the east coast. Remember, we didn't really expand across the entire mainland until the 1800s, and most homes that were built along the way were essentially basic protection from the elements until an actual town sprung up somewhere. Houses you find from this era (there are some where I live) essentially are field stone foundations, rough timber as floor joists, etc. Whatever was in the area was just cobbled together to make a structure, there wasn't any real attention to quality.

Homes that were built from the early 1900s-1970ish were generally built to last. My house was built in 1926 and is rock solid. Punching a wall here would likely result in a broken hand. The walls are a good inch+ of plaster and lath followed by a hardwood exterior.

Modern homes are what I call "cookie cutter houses". Mass produced with cheap materials because they could be marked up a fortune. Your typical $200,000 house really only costs about $40-$50k in material. I guarantee my house will still be standing when these pieces of shit are falling apart.

Quality homes are still built by select home builders, but you'll pay through the nose.

Profit

they sometimes get our leftover hurricanes

> Made out of cheap cardboard

>> Why are European trucks so beta compared to American?

At least we have refrigerators.

could just be a brick facade, can't really tell

Surprised you still use those with the amount of preservatives and chemicals in the shit you call food over there

No, you can tell. The concrete window sills, the brick design above the windows, and mortar patching. It's brick. And dollars to donuts this isn't (or at least, wasn't) originally an American house for a family to live in. It's appears to be an old school or city hall, something like that. maybe even a post office. The American flag being displayed lends some evidence in that direction. (the building may have been re-purposed though).

Drywall is only the interior wall surface and it's cheap and easy to construct. Newer homes use wood frame construction with it, but many older homes that have been renovated have drywall interiors on top of solid wood walls.

Hollow wood-frame walls are cheaper, offer good insulation, and make modifying walls or running new wiring/piping much easier.

Basically the whole wood-frame method is a result of the invention of plywood. Before plywood all wood homes had solid hardwood walls.

I FUCKING LOLD HARD AT THIS

Those square red things are called "bricks"

because american capitalism is a race to the absolute bottom of the barrel and building anything to last or have quality is forbidden by the holy rules of 'maximum profits this quarter at the expense of everything else'

this is a board for adults, not abbos drinking gasoline, you fucking outback brown

Sometimes life dosn't give you the option, people usually live where they work. I get what you are saying in terms of people who HAVE the option but also living in a area that have higher than avg risk does not = a 100 tornado or earthquake per year.

>Swede thinks he can hang out with the cool kids
Go lube up Mohammeds cock or something

doesn't change the fact you cant tell the difference between bricks and cardboard, you stupid fucking idiot

US trucks max weight 36,000 kg

UK 44,000 kg.

Also US truck tech level is 20 years behind at least.

why are european brains made of shit?
american homes can be made out of whatever you want them to be

It's not a baby you stupid snowflake. It's just waste of flesh

Fuck you Sven have fun consoling your mother after she get gang raped by the men that built your house. Did that stem degree help protect her?

I love primitive tech guy

Coastal areas will use concrete for first floors if not entire house.

The building materials usually suit the area. Wood is a perfectly good building materials if it suits the area. The quality of a house usually has more to do with the builder than the material.

I've already commissioned a VR room, micro-aircraft hanger, and a tiny mosque in preparation for the future of my home.

>Swede manages to become even more of a gelded cuck by stunning lack of knowledge of building construction

you pay land or property tax? then you don't own it

Generally they would not. It may seem they would but wind force is mighty powerful and the force increases exponentially not linearly.
The highest gust in the great storm of 87 in the u.k. was 120mph. The highest gusts in a cat 5 hurricane are over 200mph.

Before you say to yourself well that is only 80mph difference think of the power of cars that can reach 120mph. Now think of cars that can reach over 200mph. Think of cars that can do 185mph for hours on end.

Americans don't know how to build anything better than a cardboard level house.
But they are used to it and don't miss real housings.
They all seem satisfied with the situation.
Why bother?

When the next tornado hits them, then they'll bother.

I can tell you don't pay property taxes because you should know it's your county that gets that money. Uncle Sam gets his chunk directly from your salary.

But i have to admit that these cardboad housings hold up pretty well in earthquakes.
I have seen californian villas completely made in plywood withstanding earthquakes without any damages.

But the downside is the overall longevity of such houses. They have to literally rebuild them every 50 years or even at shorter lifespans.

Why is it that you colonial bogans always have such a hard time with geography? You could drive across England in an afternoon but you would pass literally thousands upon thousands of hamlets, villages and cities. The UK has about four times as many cities as Australia. The percieved size of such a country as the UK is bigger than the empty wastelands you call your home. Australia is just endlessly the same and then some more of the same again. Bushes, shrubs, trees, dust, after eight hours of driving you get the feeling of being in a hamster wheel. If you equate geographical size with might you must also consider Kazakhstan or Bolivia or fucking Niger to be awe-inspiring countries.

To be fair, the British also have refrigerators, they just electronic components made by Lucas, so the fridges don’t work.
Or the fridges cause impromptu house heating.

The building looks like Colonial Revival architecture from maybe the 1920s. If so, then the building woult be very solid, probably mostly brick and concrete, with heavy timber and thick plaster inside. Any plumbing would likely be solid thick copper, heavy cast iron, and electrical eclosures would be steel.

How can Americans even compete?

Any chance someone could start a charity to paint council houses different colors? The site of so many houses exactly the same hurts my eyes.

I lived like that, made me wanna kill my neighbour, not good.

Interesting, those exterior walls are all prefab.

>Why are American homes made out of cheap card board?

Do you mean wood?
House builder here, between Jow Forums and Jow Forums I've answered this at least 100 times.

I actually wanna move to the USA soon. How much does it cost to build a house which won't topple over? Preferably in PA.

also, no, I'm not a bong cocksucker, don't worry, I'm not an emigrating Muhammad.
