Why do Americans (and Canadians) build houses out of wood chips that last at most 10 years?

My house was built in 1954 and it's still standing

So hurricanes destroy them better

Cute. My house was built in 1721 and still standing

the houses you poasted were probably built in somewhere near the 50s-70s. Most likely run down or abandoned in the middle of nowhere. My house was built in the 1970's and is made out of drywall, not chips.

Your town would be completely fucking destroyed if it had to withstand the sort of storms which roll through a large part of the USA.
Europeans are so fucking ignorant of the rest of the world, I swear.

My city was founded in 1934 so it's relatively old.

Lmao what a shitty thing to one-up about.

The older the houses the better they are built in US and Canada. So a 1950s house in North America will outlast a 2010 house I bet.

I have seen pine needles lodge themselves into brick walls

OSB (oriented strand board) is made out of wood chips and glued together with formaldehyde and urea.

1950s-1970s stick frame houses houses were sheathed with plywood not OSB.

Hurricanes are no joke

Here's a picture of an ICF house surrounded by destroyed stick frame houses after a hurricane.
Jace Cox
Making a disposable house sheathed with OSB (which falls apart when it gets wet) is not a solution.

reeee not the same reeeeee

A lot of the beachfront houses here are concrete.

What's an ICF house? Redpill us
Asher Diaz
It's like a lego system to build a reinforced concrete house. You first stack them and then pour the concrete in.
Isaac Anderson
>stack them
*stack the ICF blocks

Imagine paying 500 000 for a pile of bricks the amish would build for fun
Easton Wood
Still doesn't take away from the fact American houses are made from gypsum, wood scraps, glue and paint. If anything they should be more well build than European ones with the amount of storms that occur
Connor Mitchell
1 m^3 of bricks is 50-60$ here.
Alexander Brown
>Still doesn't take away from the fact American houses are made from gypsum, wood scraps, glue and paint
so are ours
Levi Green
And $20 for putting them.
Justin Ross
Well, there's a huge demand for housing here and people want large houses for cheap. The US doubled it's population in the last 46 years.

My house was built in 1975 and it's falling the fuck apart.
