Rural Iowa here, the only one I can’t find within walking distance of me is the bottom middle, and probably because I haven’t walked the entire town yet.

I genuinely am interested. I assume this is for the US. Did houses get bulit with bricks in older days and why did they move away from it?

I live in europe an have only seen brick and cement Houses here

Cheddar actually made a good video on this topic. The US switched to wood during the postwar boom because it was faster and cheaper to build houses and buildings out of wood, because wood is abundant here.

Not every building is brick. Sometimes they have wooden ones. Either way, they’re old as shit.

Yeah, the joke is that brick buildings tend to be old in the US.
