What political and economic factors explain why stone houses are no longer widely built today?
Wood is cheaper and easier for mass production
>>521861829building codes often require shit to be insulated.it's a shame.
>>521862112Just have insulated drywall under the stones. It's not hard. I personally think it's ugly and prehistoric. We aren't fucking cave people or Italians
Hitler stood there once
>>521862076>woodwe dont do that in germany
>>521861829>inflationit has dictated and driven the nature and shape fo societies since the inception of (((fractional reserve banking)))we simply can't have nice things anymorebecause that would be "cost prohibitive", goy
>>521862206>I personally think it's uglyshit taste
>>521861829concrete is easier to shape and form.
>>521861829you have to buy rocks now and they're very expensive, it's also much more expensive for labor
Goddam, that there is nice. Nobody in 'Murica is going to pay a stonemason...if you can even find one...to build THAT when you can get a bunch of Beaners to slap together a 5000 sq ft McMansion in a week for half the price.
>>521861829Mold, earthquake zones, inefficient.
>>521861829My grandparents build their house using stone quarried from the same village

>>521866181fucking kek, there was never a more perfect meme for this.
>>521862206drywall is not a construction material
>>521866232thats a holiday home
>>521866643this post is ameriphobic
>>521861829because their aren’t enough stonemasons around anymore. if you find someone competent enough to work with stone, they’ll guaranteed charge you out the ass, and with all the regulations and red tape it would be out of range for most people. they’d just as well have more goy-box floor space in their carbon copy neighborhood
>>521862206A sure way to get mold
>>521862206italian architecture is peak comfy aesthetically its probably nightmare to actually live in such towns because how fucking dense and crowded they areespecially around adriatic sea both in italy and croatiabeen there a lotpeak comfy, shit to live ini need land around my house man
>>521862206>I heckin' LOVE vinyl. It looks so sharp and modern
>>521866232That looks like a tourist airbnb thing bro....
>>521861829Too expensive and too shit. Why would you want to live in a tiny stone home that's expensive as balls when you could just live in a big house instead for half the price. Stone has been obsolete ever since the invention of bricks.
>>521861829It's so foreigners or goverment officials can burn down your house easily. Or blow it up with minimal damage, if it was made out of stone, it would more than likely destroy all nearby houses if they blew it up.
>>521868974That is a big part of building codes. Ease of access so if you ever leave the reservation the pony patrol doesn't require mining equipment to gain entry.
>>521861829Stone is a worse building material than wood.>terrible insulation>expensive>heavyWood houses are more than good enough.
>>521866232what the fuck is up with those fences
>>521861829Go get one quoted. Just a few stones in my backyard to make a retaining wall is going to be nearly $100k. A house would be at least half a million at least. And that's just the stone for at best a two bedroom.

(Ezra Pound)Look up "The Owner-Builder's Guide to Stone Masonry" on LibGen. I took the trouble to scan and upload it to save zoomers the indignity of a "tiny house".Start building your wall off a foundation, or underground 1/4 the height of your finished wall.Pick your stones by hand and make sure they are at least somewhat square. Round or wedge-shaped ones will pop out of the wall under pressure. You can use mortar or cement as long as it's softer than the stone you're using. But the wall should stand on its own without mortar - that's just for sealing cracks. Unless your wall is a foundation or retaining wall in contact with the earth. In that case you cannot use mortar, or groundwater pressure will build up and topple it.Insulation goes inside the exterior wall, and is covered with sheetrock, wood, or another layer of brick or stone. If you live in the Everglades you may need a vapor barrier. But most condensation is due to cracks in the wall that let in exterior air.
Because today it is easier and cheaper to use industrially produced bricks which are all the same size and shape than to roughly shape irregular shaped stones found in nature with a chisel by hand and use that to build a house.

>>521867923I think my retarded american friend meant batten and boarding over the stone with lined and insulated plasterboard. stone being the way it is it is never fully airtight so there is always some ventilation in the cavity + the cavity will lead into the loft space which will also allow for air exchange.
>>521862206>cave people or ItaliansThere's a difference?
>>521869214>>521870198>>521870356Who the fuck are you talking to. OP is not here, this is a spam thread
>>521861829Regulated out of existence, I suppose you could build a structure on land you own, but then you need permission from the council then there are building codes etc to make such an endeavour impossible.I always remember Albert Dryden, built himself a bungalow but the authorities weren't having that and ordered it be demolished, he fought the officer and killed him. That's largely why it cannot be done, rules & regulation, it's absolutely possible, but some other cunt will come along, complain and cause a fuss meaning you lose your house. It's all fucked, there doesn't have to be a housing crisis but the government made one.
>>521861829Is it not obvious by now? Anything with soul, beauty and joy will be sucked out of every single facet of life
>>521866181Holy shit xDD
>>521862076>>521861829For the same price you can get 10x the size on wooden houseAlso nobody fucking cares if your house is still there in 10,000 years
>>521861829Try lifting a big stone and get back to me. If it's not so bad try it again 8,176 times.
