As someone who’s not from the US I will never understand why many homes there are basically just large cardboard boxes. I have a friend who lives in the US and they were telling me stories about how they can sometimes hear random animals in between the walls of the house they’re in. And how every other day they get woken up by the sound of someone making food in the kitchen (which is on the other side of the building).
Yet somehow these houses are really expensive, even if they’re falling apart due to decades of poor maintenance. Even if they’re full of asbestos and/or mold.
I’ve seen footage before of people moving furniture and accidentally bumping into a wall (which tends to happen) but instead of the wall just holding up (like you would expect) it just gave in like cardboard and now there was a huge hole.
Why are these oversized cardboard boxes even a thing at all? Have those colonists forgotten how to build proper houses just how they’ve forgotten how to get to the moon?

This is actually the problem of socialist buildings too. Also loud neighbours.
But still, i look at the american houses, and wonder, how long do they even last? And what about heat in winters?
