Why is American construction so pathetic compared to Europe?

What went wrong?

We already had the mines to be able to get the stones needed to build them.
The US in the beginning didn't really have it to that extent as we did so their stone houses weren't as plentiful as they are here.
Also wood is cheaper and construction costs for homes in the US is far far less than here.
Here a normal house of 1800sqft that's being built new would cost about 200 to 300k for the construction alone.

Implying most German houses are still being build in that style and not just pre fab pieces put together on the building site. American traditional building beats modern European modern 99/100. The question should be why are classic building styles better than modern, and you know that damned well cheap troll.

A rush to build a country (few hundred years vs a thousand_+ of European development) + easy access to timber which made it more economically advantageous to build cheap, accepting the possibility of destruction and having to build it cheap again. we have the lumber to make the costs negligible; europe does not.

If by clean you mean cancerous chemicals OSB, cardboard walls, constantly breaking plastic pipes, molding, rotting, humid, poorly designed for heat so conditioning is required, then yes, it is indeed "clean".

Also, don't forget the fact that they only last 50 years on purpose to keep you in perpetual debt via mortgages to (((yours truly))).

Not every Nordic house looks like that you tard.
Also the architectural nice ones are only nice because people spend so much money on it, usually that was done through the church since they had a very powerful role in society and had the most money as well.
The other nice buildings were only built by the aristocrats and historical elite usually funded by taxes

Especially for housing permits and now with the nitrogen problem that they've created they're not helping anyone in the housing market other than house owners.
My grandparents had their house built on a plot of land they bought 30 years ago and they had a government official come.over because the wooden fence might have been 4cm too much on the sidewalk despite all of their neighbours having it there as well.

burger bro with 100 year old home.

burgerland has all different types of construction. What the europoors dont mention or know is how much money old brick homes cost to maintain.

Common things you will find in these old homes is, mortar work, plaster walls ceilings, bad/old insulation, bad/old electrical, bad/old plumbing, and more.

With a lot of work and shit tons of money these old homes will last another 100 years. The list never ends though.

It is BULLSHIT! The worst parts are the attics. For some stupid reason, attics arent required to be floored. They are only required to floor the attic with a small path to the AC and water heater. Everything else is bare drywall not designed to hold any weight. So the floor is basically a deathtrap and contractors regularly have to balance on the wood 2*4s (which are really 1.75*3.75") and if you lose your balance, now the hole in the cieling is your fault and you might die if its over a 2 story cieling.
