If that's what it takes to live there... why would anyone want to?

That is an excellent question Mish - it seems the market has spoken - there are a lot of people living down in florida - why? Why so many fools? Many retirees tell me thier bones hurt up north in the cold - the hurricanes come for just a few hours and you have days of warning to get away or go to a shelter or make preperations - but that cold in the north stays for half the year and hurts thier bones. I have so many beaches close by and can see girls gone wild all over for free. There is great fishing, sailing, surfing, golfing. We have casinos and in a few weeks I can go watch the space shuttle launch up close. Or I could just move to a little cabin in danville and read books no - it worked for HDT. Why did Walt Disney come to florida to build the worlds largest theme park and not so many other places he looked at? It rains all summer, hot, humid, biting bugs.

Concrete or brick houses are the norm in much of the world apart from some cold relatively wood rich countries like the US. Growing up in the UK, people were very suspicious of the idea of living in a house built of wood, even houses with brick veneer (one layer wood and one bricks). Still seems a dubious prospect to me :) Only wood houses in the UK (not counting roofs) were from 17th century and earlier when wood was plentiful still.
