Subject: RE: BS: Why are we still building with wood
yeah..I've been trying to figure out what volcano Seattle is built on..could be though...

And as for liberty..I am all for it..but people are not given options in housing..there are older homes and there are new development homes but it is the rare person, and I can't think of one, who has built his or her own home to specifications. And the builders, even the best, have to work with profit in mind and don't have to face long-term consequences in general. The public does, by being trapped in these houses of cards in tornados, by not being able to clean them properly after a flood, by burning alive in a fire. If there were true choices, and they could be implemented, it would be different, but for now it just isn't, at least the people I hobnob with.

I think the insurance people need to step up to the plate and make some noises in some areas aboutwhat is and isn't insurable in the future...mg
