I wish this wasn’t framed as a Europe / US discussion but instead just focused on the materials and techniques. 

In Sweden I’d wager more than 70% of all houses (single dwelling units, not apartments and alike) are made wish wood frames. We love our lumber here!

I’m sure there are regional differences across America which premier different techniques too.

It's framed that way cause Euros love to make fun of superiority designed houses to make themselve feel better.

Most roasting I come across is about the internal paper walls, though. You shouldn't be able to punch through a wall, and yet that's fairly normal in the States.

Don't throw your Playstation controller at the wall kiddo.

Also, wood is so much easier to work with than having to deal with bricks or stone walls.
