There are more people born each day (400,000 a day) than there are houses built each day (4,657 a day). So I'd say no, houses are harder to replace than people.

- NiceGuy_Ty 9y agoYou can replace a house to the extent that the old residents are happy with the new house. You can't really replace a deceased family member with someone else.
- mdemare 9y agoI'm pretty sure more than 1.7M houses get built every year worldwide.
- mcbits 9y agoIf you count "dwellings" or "housing units" then surely yes. Many/most of those will be apartments and multi-tenant buildings rather than houses per se. And then there are all the "houses" built from salvaged materials in poor countries. Not sure if you'd want to count those. A person living in such a structure would still be considered homeless in many places.
