@ 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?

My Mum was born in Wales in a house that was over 350 years old. She went back to Wales 50 years later and the house was still standing although it was no longer occupied as the mines underneath it were settling and had thus cracked the house making it unsafe to live in.
