You should know that this is the most batshit insane, america-centric, absolutely wrong thing I've ever seen someone pull off in a context like this.
Just because you say it like it's true doesn't mean it's true! That must be hard for you to understand, though. Do you think other countries are just casting their houses wholesale out of concrete? I love this way you see the world, it's super simple and avoids learning anything useful.
It's not, the reason we built with stone here is that trees were historically rare as a building material. Secondly, a concrete structure needs more quality controls, and bad concrete is less durable than wood. Nobody builds with stone and bricks are just used for non structural walls.
You're commenting from a .nl instance and aren't aware of the 400+ year old timber buildings in the Netherlands, or the fact that there's a current project to build the tallest timber skyscraper in the world in Eindhoven?
