Genuine question: why the fuck is shitty construction so prevalent? Just purely profit hunting or is there any other explanation?
People think this is because of building with wood but European wood houses stand for hundreds of years even in adverse conditions. It’s about americans cutting every corner there is in the hopes of profit.
Strongest American house was my thought too xD
that’s no house, but a matchstick castle
It’s easy to build a new one
This is why American houses are so cheap for their size
You don’t understand, it is a new concept of a folding house 🤷♂️
The way that fell was just like crush the castle/angry birds
House of Cards
Houses made from trash materials, elderlies having to work until their death, people dying from easily curable diseases because health system reserved to the wealthy.
The plight of third-worlders always fills me with sorrow.
They literally build shit like this, and then stand and watch suprised when a small breeze wipes out a neighbourhood
3 little pigs? Anyone?
guys can we stop talking about yanks?
Not so fun fact: this is how many buildings collapsed during the earthquake in Türkiye last year, causing enormous amounts of death. It’s called a pancake collapse, and poor construction standards are the cause.
I dont work in construction or have an engineering degree but i see a lack of triangles.
amish will rebuild it in an afternoon
When I was a teenager my dad was transferred to Florida, USA due to his job. This was 2004. I remember being astonished that legit everyone was living in a big ass mansion and half of these mansions cost like 100-200k. Then I realised why. Cardboard houses. I remember every time we would get a hurricane half of the neighbours would lose their roof. Also One time I pushed my friend against a wall and we had a huge hole in it. I was glad to move back home to live in a real brick house again
“House”
American house made out of plywood and tissue paper 4 hours away from any city, no public transport, lowest price: $850,000 + $10,000 home owner gestapo fees. Greatest country on earth

Finally, now this is some quality housing
if you build house of toothpicks and paper…. what do you expect lmao
It’s strangely satisfying.
I like how it withstood the wind 0.5sec longer than the *portaloo* on the right
Slightly more robust than the Dixie
