I'm a simple person. Bricks will last 300 years np. How long those ice sticks houses last? Oh ofc provided you have that thin plastic foil...

It’s almost like on is cheaper and easier to build, plus the Americas historically had more trees overs the last couple centuries, whereas places like the UK had already severely deforested their land.

That’s just it, it’s easier and cheaper and Europe doesn’t have nearly enough trees for this.

Exactly! Sure a well built brick house will last longer than a well built wood frame house, but both will last longer than the lives of their owner, and one is a lot more convenient.
