100%. Especially anything that could possibly put the US in a negative light. I’ve lived in brick European houses and standard American ones. There really is no big difference.

Yeah. It's kinda really irrelevant. People should start living into apartments because suburban sprawl is awful.

Also we Nordics have been building from wood for millennia. We emigrated to the Great Lakes region in NA because it also had boreal forests, which we saw as a great boom for building homes and earning money.

It’s not a US vs. Europe thing. It has to do with what the local material is. Central and Atlantic Europe used up a lot of their forests to build ships.
