Could someone please explain this article? It says that a shortage of wood has caused house prices in America to rise. What does wood have to do with building a house when modern buildings all have steel frames? Do cabinets really cost so much?

Not everyone wants to live in the city, user.

? most homes in Canada and US are built with a wood frame.

wood is a vital material in building homes in Canada and the United States

Really? That's fucking pathetic.

it's a fairly cheap and reliable building material that supports a home, so i mean i don't worry about it much

why's that? wood is a good material. we're also building a 53metre tall residence building made of wood frames.

You a banana bender?

Australians that live in reasonable climes also use timber framing.

Steel or stone. Don't be a pov cunt

A man truly of my heart

wtf are you talking about. your single family houses don't look any different

Fucking pathetic.

just buy the house goy

Yes, we all live in multimillion dollar waterfront properties. You fucking idiot.

how is it pathetic? what do you mean by this?
a major point of modern construction is to use cheap and durable materials that will serve the purpose that it is intended to

are you upset because you guys have no tree's to make houses from?

So those are your multimillion dollar homes?
What about this one.

Abos get a lot of government benefits and 1 million is bordering on poverty in today’s market.
