  • Gun culture
  • Making houses out of wood. To me, someone from a country where houses are made of brick, this is like living in a shed. Also, the USA is the hotspot of tornadoes, so it makes even less sense
  • One of the richest countries in the world, and universal healthcare isn't a thing

Houses of woods aren't really bad or the problem, but houses of wood that are held together by osb and cardboard is odd.

Traditional Dutch houses (the ones on the canals) are wooden frames with a brick facade. The brick is fastened to the wooden beams with elaborate wrought iron wall anchors.

Most new construction is reinforced concrete, but those suckers have been standing for 400 years.
