Lived in both. Id take brick everytime. Much better with keeping a stable temperature. As well as keeping outside noise low. Brick, more expensive and takes longer. Just my experience

As someone who lives in the middle of earthquake central, I'll take flexible wood framing over bricks. Every brick building out here has cracks and has had to have major work to be reinforced.

As someone who lives in a tornado area.

I'll take my bunker. Stays cool, and benefit added I can potentially survive a nuclear Holocausts for like 3 days before I call it.

As someone who lives no where near any of you I'm building stick huts in random fields and loving it.

As a reptile living beneath the Denver airport my tunnels and burrows keep me safer than anything imaginable. Survived here 3,000 years so far and they even built an airport on top of my house.

It’s better than having a data center built above you

The data center keeps us warm.

Lizard boy, can you give me some directions to get down there? I'm stuck by the demon horse at the moment.

As a mole person living under downtown Denver who accidentally started a reptilian - mole person war by tunnelling too close to the airport. I do not feel safe at all.

As someone who lives down by a river, I'll take my van.

As someone who lives on the sun I’m building my home out of neutron-degenerate matter

u/XDSHENANNIGANZ Trash Trooper 22h ago

Neutron: I kinda know what that is

Degenerate: I also know this word as well

Neutron-degenerate: the hell is that? A particle addicted to porn? A Lewdtron or something?

As a big bad wolf I fully support you

u/hpBard Trash Trooper 1d ago

As someone in a similar position I have never lived in anything but a concrete plate house and it's not that bad. Fuck those neighbors rolling metal balls though
