MM -

So are you saying that concrete homes are too expensive?

I find it hard to believe that people in Mexico are using building materials that are more expensive than we in the States can afford.

I would also like to point out that repeatedly replacing wood frame houses that have been destroyed by hurricanes and tornadoes is a very expensive proposition in the long term.
