@ British people

I have a question for you guys

You have brought it to my attention and many other Americans attention that our houses are very flimsy built in comparison to the way you guys build your houses typically out of what looks like stone and cobblestone

I thought about it for sometime I couldn’t help it. I just found it genuinely perplexing, and I eventually come to the conclusion that I think Americans build houses this way because of capitalism in an attempt to eventually demolish the house easily if someone buys the property and wants to bulldoze it

Just curious to your thoughts about this

How do you guys bulldoze your building if they are made from stone? do you just keep them around for long periods of time? What happens when they become old and abandoned or do you guys make a better attempt to renovate them?

Is that why we build our houses the way we do because of natural disasters? @pancakeslam

@DeluxedEdition yes houses back east are brick but in California they're made from lighter materials

@pancakeslam I never thought about that

Did you know in Florida? We can’t have basements because of the water underground for example, if we were to have a basement, it would just be a water reservoir. 😂

@pancakeslam We do have heartquakes in south Europe and still that's not a reason to get houses made of cardboard 🫠
