Oh mercy - you poor people with wooden houses... I feel for you - really I do... Here in South Africa it is against the law to build a wooden structure in town. All residential housing must be from brick and concrete...
In Los Angeles, brick houses tend to fall down in earthquakes, killing people in the process. Wooden houses don't necessarily fare better, but they tend to stay together thus preventing walls from falling on top of the occupants.
