A nice illustration of how the ubiquity of cheap fossil-based transport and manufacturing has completely skewed our perception. Of course it's easier to pick stones from a convenient pile that's already where you need it, even if it perhaps requires some banging at them to get them loose. Most convenient quarry on the continent, likely the exact reason why you started building in the vicinity in the first place. But I'm certainly not immune to perception through those petrol-colored sunglasses myself, please don't read this as "look at that fool!"
