Missing out on geography, e.g. availability of materials in the surroundings
- rob74 5y agoOk, if you are a colonist building a house in the Wild West, that's a concern, but in the 21st century?! In the 21st century of course you can say "we always did it this way", same as with the Imperial System, but then you shouldn't be surprised about articles like this.
- rocqua 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if the cost of shipping brick over large distances were actually enormous. This might be one of those things that is just way better off if produced close to where it is consumed.
