One thing about the housing that needs to be considered is that the average house built now is much larger than it was in the 1940's. In warm weather areas they include air conditioning. And they are more likely to include a 2-car garage instead of a carport.

It's Totally ridiculous. These Calitards move out here and insist on building these ugly obnoxious mc mansions.

No more brick houses around here just stucco [shucks] even the $600K ones being built close to the foothills :sick: I guess there is not that many people who still build out of brick could be that there workers cant do it or just stucco and wood frame is faster.

The Wire Stucco Frame Builds are better for Earth Quakes.
