    The Americans should build their houses like this column, instead out of paper mache.

      They have a hard time even affording the cheap paper mache shit they make them out of now.

      I can’t imagine how much more eye watering the price would be if they were made like this.

        Could that be because companies use the cheapest materials and labour to then sell the houses expensively and reap massive profits??

          Yes it is pure greed and if you make it more expensive for them to do that then they will just gouge even harder to make up the difference in lost revenue.

          What we should really do is tie all of the CEOs of those companies up to poles like this and run into them like this guy did that column and after a couple of years the problem would solve itself.
