- cudgy 6y agoNon-American homes are all well built estates that last for a thousand years and need no improvements. Asia and Africa are full of particularly well built estates. Seriously...All homes must be maintained or they will deteriorate.
- banannaise 6y agoAmerica has ready access to a building material that many of these places don't: softwood. Softwood really just does not cut it if you're trying to build something that lasts hundreds to thousands of years. So they don't build for that.
