It baffles me how expensive American homes are despite being built so cheaply like the walls are literally made out of paper and yet you’re charging me 400K
Like everything else-expensive but they cut corners or cheap quality. Now that I’m older, this really is our country🤣 they and their loved ones can go straight to HELL.
@@RealMTBAddict so that’s the average price of the American home but with your logic everyone who makes under 100k need to move to Wyoming in the middle of nowhere
@@Djreactions831 Average doesn't mean that's the lowest you'll find. I just bought a house for $280k in a city where the average is $450k. So you have to look. 👍
Theres a couple reasons why.Houses r expensive due to high demand of houses and low supply.Second they are built out of wood because its cheaper and more fast to build.A pallet of brick (500 bricks)Is like 1k and takes longer.Third the US has a High supply of wood
Here in Florida every house should be make of concrete, structure and roof. In the Caribbean that how they do it due to the exposure of hurricanes every year.
The solution is easy. Build concrete homes with concrete roof just like those precast concrete homes. But remember counties don't like that because they don't get $ for permits for repairs plus the Home Depot and others will loose $.
It's all designed to make sure that companies who makes all of those resources for you to build your home to make sure that you keep buying and buying so that they make more money. Same way with vehicles. Vehicles used to protect the driver and the others inside of the vehicle with hard steel that can save many lives. Now, it's all about money more than a person's safety.
I know like brick rock and concrete are best at protection and not falling over. Hell the fact people still use asphalt roofs in such places is stupid like use a metal roof bolt it down. The worst part is we constantly complain about co2 levels forest gone not having enough lumber for homes and yet in places that destroy wood homes every year they continue using wood like wtf stupidity is what that is.
Fascinating simulation! Wow! The garage door caving in was intense and that opens up the house to be ripped apart. A hurricane rated garage door should be standard on all new homes in hurricane prone areas. Insurance companies should give discounts for retrofits.
It's not the home so much as the roof. Here in Houston where we deal with a lot of hurricanes, a majority of damage is from falling trees and ceilings collapsing from water, so until the roof is the main protector without falling on the occupants and can sustain a tree falling on it, building with bricks VS wood does not matter.
Ok so this is evident how Caribbean homes are able to withstand major hurricanes, as our homes are built with concrete and steel also the roofs are cement (decking).
Easy, use blocks or bricks for heaven sake. We don't loose many houses in our island in the Caribbean due to hurricanes because mosof the houses are made our of blocks. Simple! No human lives lost, nothing!
"Hurricane Maria was an extremely powerful and deadly Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that devastated the northeastern Caribbean in September 2017, particularly in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which accounted for 2,975 of the 3,059 deaths" Excuse me?
The roofing industry is why we all have paper roofs in FL. Metal roofs can withstand Category three storms and don't have to be repaired replaced every 10-30 years. They can easily last 50 years.
Have you been to Florida? My house has been been is the eye of two hurricanes, hit by multiple, and gone through 2 cat 4's. Same wood roof 22 years later. No leaks related to storms.
The reason is likely enormous cost for a single detached home to go that route. But there is a way one can get reinforced concrete construction without costing an arm & a leg: just buy a unit in a high-rise condo! Seriously, I'd get a condo unit if I really had to live a hurricane prone area. This gives greatest chance of protecting life and property. High rise buildings are indeed made of steel and reinforced concrete since you can benefit from economies of scale and such large buildings need that strength anyways. The height will save your property from storm surge. Unfortunately, Americans are too hung up on single detached homes which are bad for the environment and contribute to urban sprawl. Detached homes also use up a lot of energy because of high surface area. We can see detached homes are very prone to being ripped up by hurricanes and tornadoes. As extreme weather continues to ramp up over the next few decades, single detached homes in these areas will be uninsurable for 95+% of people shortly. Urban life in such areas will be forced into condos. Look at places like Asia where condo living is the standard, and that may be arriving to US en mass within the span of the next 30 to 50 years. You have to adapt or die.
@@beyondfossilcondo's are the last place I'd want to be lol. Mostly in flood zones, built on swamp and sand, and most of them are hitting their service life. A good portion still built pre-90's hurricane codes EDiT: only applicable in Florida lol
"enormous cost" the house I live in has Brick walls and all floors are reinforced concrete. Bought it for 180k (it is worth 400k now but it's still cheaper than a lot of American paper houses)@@beyondfossil
Just use bricks and concrete. If Africa can afford it, surely America should be able to. It’s not even that hard. Houses are already crazy expensive and using solid materials should not cost additional arm and leg.
I roofed a couple buildings in Florida that was rated for 150mph and it took thousands of screws and plates drilled inside beams melting and welding materials not shingles and nails 😂
When my parents used to read to me "The Three Little Pigs", I remember realizing if only brick/block houses can stop the big bad wolf then I better step it up for a hurricane! Sure enough, my place just survived 2 hurricanes with absolutely no damage. I'm teaching my kids to do the same.
Well maybe bc the US has alot of trees 🤔.Its also cheaper to use wood,Bricks and cement and concrete Would be more expensive and also it takes longer to
@@LATRY45that's my point .. Despite the expense you want it to last through the weather .. Making wooden homes we see how that played out with the 3 little pigs and the wolf
@@TinoMiller The US Natural Disasters are far worse than any other country.US use to build they’re houses out of Bricks but due to the hazard of them flying during disasters it causes far worse injuries/damages.Wood is far easier and if its built properly it shouldnt fly away during a hurricane.Concrete is far way expensive in the US.Yes its better but its dangerous
I live in Bermuda which is located in Hurricane Alley. We get tons of hurricanes.. more so than Florida. But our houses are made of limestone. STONE. Most of the damage that occurs is from trees falling down. Might lose pieces of our roof but nothing like the US. If you live somewhere that you choose to call home, you have to build your home up to the standards of the environment you live in… feels like such a simple thing to fix
I saw another video a while ago which said Americans dont bother building strong homes and dont even get insurance because tornados and hurricanes are so rare and not worth the cost of a storm resistant home. They learnt nothing from Noah.
Don’t use wood have concrete brick or rock walls have a metal roof bolt it down. Have home on strong stilts or build a hill to put the home on so it’s 3 to 5 feet higher then the landscape around it so it’s much less likely to flood but still have a full normal concrete foundation slab. He’ll reducing the amount of concrete and asphalt by 20% in towns and cities and replacing it with native plants and trees with lots of available soil will reduce flooding as it now has a place to go the soil also plants and trees slow the fall of water so will reduce flooding as well.
Insulating Concrete Form construction is only 5-10% more expensive overall compared to a house of sticks. Bit more if you also do the roof out of concrete. Small price to pay for a peace of mind. Maybe skip that gaudy golden chandelier.
Cheap modern lightweight construction. Flimsy 2 by 4 roof trusses, 2 by 4 walls, Oriented Sh_t board made of wood chips glue and wax. Look at the roof (6:46) covered with thin sheets of OSB, and you can see the OSB failing and the nails pulling out. You're going to love your new house and wait until you see the price tag on a garbage heap like this.....
Bruh, the house wasn't even damaged. The wood did just fine. Instead of replacing your roof with shingles, put a corrugated metal roof on it. Problem solved and it is still an affordable house. The wind from a hurricane doesn't do the damage anyway, it's the storm surge or a tree falling on it.
Listening to geologists and structural engineers when they advise NOT to build somewhere is a pretty good start. Any notice how every place that has hide entire neighborhoods burn down and wash away, has 70 yr olds saying "That area was not buildable when I was young".
I guess at this point, houses are going to have to be constructed like skyscrapers with steel skeletal frames!! More expensive BUT if you want to save your home 🤷🏽♂️
Well, it's already a hurricane/storm prone area, it should've been concrete to begin with when you talk about housing. On the other hand, climate change and global warming has already been an issue for eon...we need to be firm and start doing something beneficial for the environment and not too much urbanization and making the area too🎉 commercial. There should be a fine line on what not to touched anymore. We also need to plant more trees in the mountains and forest.
America. 😂 The land we cant supposedly build enough homes to house everyone demand affordably And ALSO Can make a house overnight to rotate and put though a artificial hurricane, no problem.
Not buying it until I see a full demonstration of a real full proof home that can withstand a hurricane and I know y’all can do it because y’all built NASA y’all got million dollar buildings in Dubai New York City in Miami they can withstand hurricane so that means yall can do it to houses so I’m not putting a dollar or my signature or any piece of paper until I see a real full proof home that was that a hurricane, like I see full hurricane proof buildings in Miami in New York in Dubai across the world I know y’all can do it. Do it do it right the people the communities in the homes
Its better not to live in a hurricane states, the power of nature and cataclysms, no building materials, fortifications won't hold back, especially wind and water this power will not hold back anything, especial plastic, carton materials, and since the climate is warming up, powerful hurricanes will come often. In a changing climate home insurances companies will not be able to make a profit from frequent disasters, and the home insurances will be a huge problem especially in hurricane states.
Where you gonna live? Try living in areas that are ABOVE 15' above MSL. Then try living in buildings that are BEYOND tree fell range. And there's only two states that are NOT in an earthquake zone and one of those is Florida (the other one is South Dakota). A lotta states West of the Mississippi are also prone to wildfires. And the mid section of the country is tornado alley. You may wanna try living on a sailboat (and get atta dodge when a nasty spinner is approaching). Or maybe living in an RV. You could also live underground I knew someone years ago that did that. This was in Fort Lauderdale.
@@leecowell8165 Are you joking? if houses can not withstand hurricanes wind and flooding, how to live on a sailboat on the ocean around sharks😜, or in a trailer plastic, this is the worst thing you advised me😀, its safer to live in the mountains or in states where there are no hurricanes like in Florida or other southern states.
May wanna think about GLUING down that sheathing! You know... construction adhesive have you builders and inspectors and idiot attorneys ever heard of that nasty stuff? Obviously NOT! Because THAT'S how most buildings are lost (when sheathing is sucked off the leeside of the roof). Because once that happens the envelope has been penetrated and interior pressure blows the building out.
Build it in stone. Over Asia where hurricane are more powerful and more frequent house survive Bec their made of steal and stone and concrete. Here it's made of chalkboard and plywood lol
in freaking so called third world countries houses are made of bloody concrete and bricks...may be look into why we can't do the same here? I punch a wall here and my fist goes through the dam thing. I punch a wall in a house build in a third world country and my fist brake three different ways....seriously...
In freaking so called third world countries, when there is an earthquake or other major natural disaster, MANY more people die. If you think it's so much better, why aren't they doing better? "I punch a hole in the wall", you can repair it, and have no broken wrist. And you think breaking your wrist is better? Dude, your reasoning is beyond broken. You're like the boomers who thought the steel deathtraps they drove were better because occupants died instead of the car flying apart
Your time scale for climate change vs the existence of modern humans is...way off. We generally have not experience change anywhere near the rate we are now.
Sure, show me in Europe where you get constant earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. Show me a place in Europe that's not the size of a cell attached to another cell with zero yards. Pretty sure we all left Europe for a reason bud.
