I find the articles take on the quality of wood used for framing to be strange. They talk about how Europe does it (kiln dried), but they don't mention how it's done here in the US. It seems that the author is suggesting that houses here in the US are built primarily out of green wood (i.e. wood that hasn't been air or kiln dried). I also think that the author needs to come to Florida and look at new home construction. The vast majority of new SFH homes being built are concrete block due to various factors (hurricanes, termites, etc).
