>What I will say is that almost every house in the United States is built poorly I would love more details on why this is (certainly I'd expect poor build quality in certain housing boom areas in Florida, but not everywhere). Also I've always thought reinforced concrete was the way to go, over wood, if I lived anywhere near hurricanes. I also thought this might mitigate against high wood prices recently. Apparently it doesn't though - still need molds made of wood to hold the concrete in place while it dries and those are generally thrown away after.
