I think the problem is less the materials used, and more that urban sprawl has pushed cities to build out into areas they shouldn't be building. Destroying the wetlands to build houses closer to the ocean has eliminated the natural hurricane protection (from storm surge, at least) that many low lying areas had. Building into fire-prone hills outside of cities in Southern California was never going to end well. |
