Answer: because wood is widely available in the US, and is strong for its weight. If a storm is strong enough to destroy a wooden-frame house, a stone/brick house won’t fare much better

Counterpoint: why does it matter? Europeans seem *oddly* obsessed with what Americans build their houses out of.
