why do murican houses just have a ground floor? are they too fat to walk up some stairs?
The house would fall down if you built a second floor out of just wood.
>>522581148It's difficult to make a wooden floor that isn't a auditory nuisance.

>>522581148Thanks for reminding me im 5'9 340lbs
Single floor buildings are much cheaper to build.
>>522581421are you fat?>>522581428pls eat a bit less nonny
>>522581148not every house only has one floor, as you can see in your pic. but i guess they are useful for when people get older and dont want to mess around with stairs.
>>522581530
>>522581148It used to be that old people moved into/built ranches after selling the bigger farmhouse to their kids
>>522581148You are one stupid foreign shitskin op.
>>522581148You’re brown and just got electricity last week
>>522581694but dear burger it's germoid tradition to build houses with multiple floors, even the new ones have them
main floor + basement is peak house design
>>522581633well obviously, but its an extra expense you avoid by having a single floor plan house. its ok if not every house is on two levels you know. variation is permitted.
>>522581789ok but why not, main floor + basement + second floor (+ maybe a third floor)?
>>522581844>but its an extra expenseif you have the money for a house you should have the money for a lil lift
>>522581907or buy a cheaper house and avoid the need for a gay chair lift. you can choose. is that a concept you are familiar with?
>>522581907Your thread is shit you brown retard, I’m going to kill your mom in front of you
>>522581421Thanks, my filters are complete
>>522581990>or buy a cheaper house and avoid the need for a gay chair lift.Are you poor?>>522581996Why should my skin be poop colored?
>>522581148Several reasons.1. Harder to build2. Stairs3. Dangerous to work at height4. Maintenence is harder5. Single story houses feel bigger with huge open spaces6. Cheaper 7. Faster to buildI have a 3 story plus basement house and there is 0 chance I'll ever work on the roof. It is too fucking high. I end up paying huge money to retards to do any roof or gutter work.
>>522582056Because I can smell you through my screen
>>522582132Are you sure you aren't just smelling your own cum and shart stains?
>>522581421hes having a meltdown
>>522581789This
>>522581633what happens when the electricity goes out
>>522581148These neighbourhoods would look so much better if each house waa still built in the same style, but with some assymetrical designs like different roof styles or window placements
>>522581148Why do they build cartbox houses? Because the energy is free!
>>522582235>what happens when the electricity goes outnever happens
>>522581851overcomplicates the hvac
>>522582274>>522582235It's true. My electricity never went out in 9 years living in germany in 3 separate apartments in 3 different cities. Never once.
nice ai retard
>>522582324are you too poor to hire an engineer to design it for your house?
>>522582324People do sometimes add a 2nd story to a small old house in a very desirable area. Older neighborhoods in say, Arlington Virginia.
>>522582056>Are you poor?what if i am? does that mean i cant afford a house because its got to be built exactly like you think every single house should be built? what if i like a house all on one floor? would you make it illegal, you bootlicking faggot?huh? would you? huh huh HUH?>>522582115all good reasons.
>>522582357not everyone gets 6000 euro per month for free ahmett
>>522581148Crazy how 90% of the area is house. Here IN DENMARK we usually only allow like 25-30% of the land to be built on.
Because we have the space to do it, you silly little germ.
>>522581633Old people are so disgusting. Who lets themselves get so crippled that they can’t go up stairs?
>>522582274>>522582333rarely in a city here but out rural it can go out several times a year after storms etc blow trees over etc.
>>522582274But would you feel if your electricity had gone out this morning?
>>522582507It happens if you live long enough
>>522582357i prefer simplicity over faggotry
>>522582557>But would you feel if your electricity had gone out this morning?thanks to living in the first world it just doesnt happen so it's not a concern
>>522582625nice. a window in a woodstove is the comfiest.
>>522582432>what if i am?Are you indian?>>522582435>not everyone gets 6000 euro per monthBut thats the avg wage for a burger well unless you're mexican
>>522581421Kek.These stupid bait threads need to banished. OP's who post them need to be banned and fags who discuss and bump retarded shit need to be waterboarded.
>>522582762no. im wondering what you are being this opposed to variation and choice in house design.
>>522581148They are made of cardboard, Hans, or plywood at best. Imagine the structural implications.
>>522581148Why all they put the solar panels in different orientations?Are they fucking retarded?
>>522582809>im wondering what you are being this opposedlooks like a glorified hacked together favela, do it properly or just leave it be
>>522581148Old people like them or people expecting to get old in the house. No stairs is safer for old people
>>522581781Plots are limited in area size, multiple story homes have to make up for this. Volk ohne Raum, kennste, ne?
>>522581633My brother's neighbor died on one of these when the power went out. Stuck on the seat and just died there after a few days. Didn't even bother trying to move. Just sat there and died. Boomer moment
>>522582973really? death by chair lift?
>>522581148I have two floors. I hate it so much, I am planning to move. Two of my sides are 3 stories because my house was built into a hill.>2nd floor is like 15 degree difference, I have to use window units in addition to central air in summers>moving furniture between floors in PITA>cleaning gutters, power washing, cleaning dryer vent, changing a light bulb, or painting is life threatening event >when my dog couldnt go up stairs, I had to carry him up and down them>when you break your toe, hurt your ankle, or throw out your back stairs are annoying>you cant use a room on the 2nd floor for a home gym unless you only do jazzercise or something faggyI want a large single floor house with finished basement, 2 car garage and a shed.
>>522581148the southwest is not the entirety of the US you hollywood movie watching retard.
>Be me>Be 70 years old>Trip down the stairs>Die
>>522582274Happened to me even in Germany and more often here. I experienced the 12 hour Iberian power outage in spring here. Glad to have a gas stove so I could cook in candle light.
>>522582952>Plots are limited in area sizesame as in the pic of OP
>>522583016Yeah. He's been very anti chair lift since then. Our mom mentioned getting one and he freaked out and said she cannot live anywhere that has stairs because she'll die on the stairs otherwise. Police broke in to his neighbors after a few days because someone called them for a wellness check and found her rotted corpse on the chair
>>522582507Nigger you will be surprised by what is waiting for you in case you should even reach the age of adulthood.
>>522581148Are you stupid or on drugs?
>>522583213but right is where all the turks live, the locals just have houses in the country side
>>522583305Are your arteries clogged?
Why do americans don't have fences and walls around their houses? don't they have criminal niggas over there?
>>522581148yes
>>522583138They could easily have planned it more spatious but mutts don't want a large garden, they rather have a larger bungalow. They would ask you why the house is so small if it doesn't take up almost all of the plot.
>>522583187>He's been very anti chair lift since then.i can imagine. getting killed by something will definitely breed resentment for the future.
>>522583383Ok so extremely stupid confirmed
Single floor- based. Two floors- gay.
>>522583389>don't they have criminal niggas over there?Not in a lot of places. A lot of the country is safe and that stuff isnt needed. Some parts do have that and are dangerous. Its not uniform across the entire country
>>522583337We dont live in a micronation so we dont use trains to travel cross counrtry and we dont need to constantly stack floors on top of each other like sardines
>>522581148What the fuck is going on with those driveways?
>>522583554mexicans built them
>>522581148Never in my life seen a neighborhood like this Hans. Most houses in my area are two floor at least.
>>522583465Yeah. Our mom lives somewhere without stairs now and its much safer
>>522583469Even russian hacked together houses have a second floor igor
>>522581421
>>522583768yeah good. my folks have stairs in their place and are getting almost to the stage of not wanting to use them so much anymore, but the house has a good set up for downstairs bedrooms so its all good.
>>522581148https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM103vKdI5E
>>522581148A lot of houses here have second floors. The old brick houses in town sometimes have 3. I used to have a second floor, it was hot as fuck up there no matter what we did. The best room was the one on the bottom floor that was halfway underground.
>>522584116yeah, some of the tall ones like in Boston are huge. 4 maybe 5 floors. lovely places. lots are owned by fraternities and are lived in by loads of students.
>>522581148pretty sure this is australia, nah? looks like australia to me with the black roofs and driving on the left
>>522584274I'm sure their neighbors hate them.
>>522582347nah, just aussie cheap ass civil engineering kek
>>522582487this is australia. we have yards too. these new multicultural goyburbs are probably on the outskirts of melbourne and packed with indians and chinks
>>522584116Yes, climate has a huge impact and in hot climates it's better to live underground.I think in cold climates houses almost always have at least two floors just to have warm bedrooms.In very traditional farms people even kept animals at ground level so the living quarters above got some free heating.
>>522583554HOA fuckery? Not sure. Either some retard let his wife talk him into doing something to be "different" or this was some kind of building code bullshit imposed by the city or HOA. I'm inclined to believe the latter.
>>522584453i dont know. stayed in one for a while and didn't hear about anything like that. i mean, they can get complaints like anyone else.
>>522584547Interesting. When I was a teenager we would sneak out to this garage to smoke weed on the second floor and we would fight over the fan the whole time. It would make walking outside into 105 degrees feel cool.
>>522584743I know I would.
>>522581148There is a two story house right in your picture retarded hans.>why do murican houses just have a ground floor? It depends on the house you giga retard.I'll save you from further embarassing yourself ever again. Next time you think:>Why do Americans do/not do X?It's probably, not that they do something strange, or are strange for not doing something. You're just a retarded giga-faggot and you don't know what you're talking about.
>>522585345ok next question, why are they using some fake brick facade? that shit looks gay
Can we all agree, no matter where we are from, that a House isnt a real House if it doesnt have at least 2 floors (basement not counting)?
>>522581148They're more affordable and it's doable over here cause land is plentiful in America. Which are two precise things that Yuropors can't say about their shitty situations t. 31 yo mutt homeowner with 3 kids and SAH wife
>>522585547>doesnt have at least 2 floorsMost people don't like two stories as they get older. Even some of my early buying friends hated their two floor condos being the top floor was too damn hot in summer. Peak home ownership is a ranch style home that is sized to your current needs. I'd personally never buy a two story home VS a ranch set up. Only exception would be if it was such a perfect location that I had no choice.
>>522585547It's funny your Yuropors are posturing about houses as if you guys >A) have less homes to choose from>B) have older homes to put up with I used to live in Germany. Sure basements are nice, but everything about their homes are subpar otherwise. Shitty water pipes, can't drink. No carpets, all tile. No central heating, need tank heaters in every room. A more important metric is if young adults are buying homes. I know America ain't doing well, but DEFINITELY Yurop holds no fucking candle. It like a midget talking about about short people
>>522581633No thanks, those things drive me up the wall.
>>522581781>The antifa house
>>522586205>No carpetsCarpet flooring is the most disgusting shit anglos came up, just get a normal carpet
>>522581421im going to use this list to filter slide threads, thanks anon.
>>522585487>ok next question, why are they using some fake brick facade? that shit looks gayI'll give you that one. I hate the veneers too.Did you notice too, how they love putting fake storm shutters on everything? The mount them in a way that makes them obvious they don't even move. Look at these things, they're not even wide enough to cover the actual window. I don't even think Americans even really know what a storm shutter is. They just like putting tiny strips of wood next to windows because they think it looks cool.
>>522586445Post some pics of your house with timestamp.
>>522586618>fake storm shuttersbecause an arched roof and shutters is a very popular cottage style look. Even a flat classical style still needs something to bust up the monotone look. There is reasons for all of this stuff.. Otherwise you just get this square blob look.
>>522581232That's a very low IQ take. Wood is very sturdy, but our spic labor force that builds the houses cuts corners left and right. There's no such things as a new build home in the US that actually meets code and that includes the multi-million dollar homes. These spics are even too lazy to meet minimum attic insulation requirements, so the fact that the trusses are either incomplete or catastrophically damaged shouldn't surprise anyone and that's why multi-story homes are asking for trouble. I saw a single story today with such shitty construction that the roof is collapsing because the trusses are broken, so the entire structure is compromised. Homes in the US are now absolutely overpriced disposable cardboard boxes. It wasn't anywhere near this bad even 20 years ago, so it'll be interesting to see the results of this 20 years from now.
>>522587274>There is reasons for all of this stuff..Yeah no shit it's decorative. It still looks like crap if you have half a brain. They should just invent a purely decorative element to add in there or change up the design. I just look at those ugly things and how they can't even cover half of the window if they could move at all and I hate it. Hell, why not just put real ones on there? Could they be that much more expensive than the fake ones?
>>522586445>...anglos came up withMuzzie detected. Figures, shitskins hate carpet because it requires them to take off shoes and not be filthy
>>522581428a skinny 18 yr old athlete probably died last year and he never enjoyed the being of eating unlimited food, so we will all die someday fat or skinny you will never escape death
>>522587883>shitskins hate carpetBut they are the ones producing the fancy ones, why would they hate their own carpets?
>>522586144>>522586205>Mutts triggered by 2 story houses being real houses Cant make this up. Soon they will try to convince you that cardboard is a better building material than bricks.
>>522581148and made out of particle board and drywall. also our showers are 5 foot 2 inches high
>>522581148If you can get everything on to one floor it’s objectively better than requiring a second
>>522581148dont need second floor when the first is huge
>>522587883>the people who make carpets make carpetswhites hate carpets because it reminds of them of hair, the thing they lose rapidly at 16
>>522586422kek, underrated
>>522587403And the funny part is that a lot of people that "own" these got into a 30-year mortgage to pay it.These homes won't even survive half of that.
>>522581148Because we have this thing called lots of land so we can build whatever size houses we want, you europoor crammed into a commieblock.>oh but it has a nice fascia on the outside so it's a historic buildingYeah, HA!
>>522587403Buy land, have metal frame barndo style house built on it.
>>522587582>or change up the design.Keep in mind people also want to blend into the neighborhood and suburb USA is a mix of areas all built out in 1940 to all built out in modern day. If you buy into a 1950s area like I live your going to have the shutters like 85% of the homes. there is little motivation to drop $$$ into some sort of real sized shutters for no reason. Like this shitty house for 835k a few miles over from my home. That dumb as hell but they aren't going to slap on huge real shutters, they don't even have the wall space. The only real fix vs the cottage look would be to redo the entire front into something more modern but again, pointless as every other house is just meh cottage. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3530-Bodega-Ct-Sacramento-CA-95864/26101916_zpid/>>522588090>Cant make this up.Your too poor to grasp that American's want what we want and if that's a single story ranch house then we get that vs just going ok guess this shitty 300 year old brick one with mold is ok.
>>522588510And most importantly ONLY HIRE WHITE LABOR.This is actually very difficult because you don't know who the contractor is going to bring in, so you have to be your own contractor. Many do it like this, but obviously it's more intensive. It also guarantees that you won't get scammed by a contractor which is very common in home building. They'll give you a good price, then halfway through claim they need way more money to finish it.
>>522584547>In very traditional farms people even kept animals at ground level so the living quarters above got some free heating.My wife's grandparents lived like this. Their house was built in the 1700s and is still standing. They have no central heating, everything is heated with wood, even the kitchen stove. No animals in the house anymore, but one room used to have them, and is still called "Stall" (barn) to this day.
>>522581148>imagine having to climb stairs in your own house
>>522587403Don’t you have engineers to approve each stage of the building process and confirm it’s up to the code?
>>522588778>barnshould be stable, ackshually
>>522588404>30-year mortgageGreat news, though. 50 year mortgages are on the way to save the day!
why do americans have these full floor carpets or whatever they are called?have a modest one and it lasts 2-5 years then i throw it out and get a new onein time they collect dust and get grimey do they pull everything up?also why they use these weird time formats pm-am whats up with that? and dont get me started on fahrenheit and inches and pounds
>>522581148It depends on the location in the country. I can tell OP pic is somewhere in the southwest based on the yards and flora. In hotter states, one floor houses are idea because heat rises. Second floors would heat up to ovens in the summer heat and sun.Otherwise, loads of American homes are multi-story in other parts of the country.
>>522584485You're right, that does look like Australia now that I see the vehicles and they're parked on the left. I thought it was the southwest of US. In my defense, they're similar climate: hot, dry, and oppressive sunlight.
>>522588905We have government inspectors (city/county) that will sign off on anything. Their names are usually something like Gonzalez. The only organization in this state that really does its job is the ROC (Registrar of Contractors), but there are many steps to take before they get involved. What the engineers mostly do is sign off on planned fixes and then the builder will circumvent the entire process (including getting the necessary permits AND the engineers' plans), half-ass the fix and then call it good hoping that they can convince the homeowner that it's up to code or they may even try to just tell them that it's out of/not covered by warranty. This kind of shit is how companies like DR Horton are clearing $40B in revenue annually.
>>522581148The neighborhoods and the houses both seem to be built to be as heat inefficient as possible
>>522581781>roof built to last >50 years>walls built to last >100 yearsthere you go, jews want you to buy more roofs and walls
>>522581781No offense but most of your new houses look uglier than war time homes built out of the 40s.
>>522589651how do you mean? they'll have great insulation values. its probably a warm place by the look of it so it'll be about keeping heat out.
>>522589651thats straya
>>522581232fpwp
at least we dont burn down entire apartment blocks because of the silly candle heaters you krautcucks love to use. only refugees get gas heating
>>522581781I like everything about this picture.
>>522589353they learned a lot from europe lolin (except maybe netherlands and germany and the nordics) 60 IQ illegal workers would cut through the reinforced concrete resistance structure of a 10 story high apartment building for a $5 bribe
>>522586618thats texas where they use a lot of limestone
>>522586618>>522587582>>522585345go cope somewhere else Chang "Cunt" McRanjeesh
>>522581781Because foundation is expensive
>>522581148Because we have enough land to put it all on one floor. Why have stairs when you don't have to? Oh by the way I also have a full basement the same size as the ground floor, and we use it for a lot of things and have stairs down to it, so it really is 2 stories.
>>522581488I think more expensive because for the same square footage, a more land and a larger foundation are needed. But not much more expensive, so a good idea if you have enough land.
Dozens of replies and none are correct.Houses have basements because pipes have to come in below ground where it doesn't freeze.
>>522591549thats so wrong its not even funny
>>522583071We have that but leave the basement unfinished. Use it as workshop, have freezers and various storage down there. And if there's any leakage, it's easy to see, and no easy places for mildew to grow.Highly recommend a detached garage. Ours is built out of cinder blocks, uninsulated, unfinished, used for one car plus all the lawn maintenance equipment (riding mower, snowblower, etc. and more storage. Then you don't get gasoline or garbage odors in your house.
>>522589022Yes it's better to have a hardwood floor and put a rug over it if you want a rug. But mass American housing was built factory style, and massive rolls of carpeting are brought in and rolled out over subflooring.
>>522589141one story black roofs and the brick construction with majority of the lot being used up are tell away signs. also the types of plants. i'm surprised that i'm the only US anon who has pointed out this doesn't look at all like america
>>522581781Efficient with space, just leave the car on a pad in front of the house instead of a garage to the side, backyard behind the house is private. Some US neighborhoods would be better that way, rather than making the house tiny and chopped up to fit a garage beside it.
>>522582115I do my own gutter work and risk and I admit I take some risk, but my house is a ranch. But we have a lot of leaves in the fall, and there's one downspout that I have to clear out regularly.I never go up on the roof, that requires skill that I don't want to learn that I don't have. I pay someone to do that, but it's not often needed.
>>522581421 Now do the Sindney Sweeny one. That was very good too.
>>522581851Why climb all those stairs?
>>522581781Great roofs, but the houses are so ugly, soulless
>>522592079OK leaf explain. Sure one could have a crawlspace, but those suck. And in Canada your floor will be very cold in winter if you just build on a slab.
>>522593685I like the simple design. I am a boomer and think the houses built in the US during my lifetime are especially ugly, lots of extra fake gables and unnecessary cuts. Such "personality" isn't needed.
>>522593769just set the pipes in the ground and bring them up into the house....or simply insulate them above ground. as for cold pads, what you do is have thick solid insulation inside it when you pour. its done all the time.
>>522581633why does it have a seat belt?
>>522594777what if some poor old dear passes out or something? that would be a good way to fall down the stairs
>>522581148It's probably cheaper to just build single level structures.
>>522581428I am 5"0 250 lbs. Haven't seen my dick since 2007
>>522581633>>522582973>>522583187>boomers would rather install a fucking elevator death trap to reach their spare 3rd 4th and 5th bedrooms in Nowhere, Ohio than to downsize into a comfy small flat
>>522582505I like that people are so annoyed by some other certain group they'll take the time to make something like this.
>>522581148An Australian suburban street pictured so I'll stick my nose in. You fucking Euro's with your 3 to 5 story shitboxes with narrow steep as fuck staircases and usually no lift have absolutely no right to point your oily fingers at anyone. Only poor people in times past were forced to live on the higher floors because the shitty buildings used to burn down all the time, there was no way out for the poor the rich cunts on the first floor were out in the street laughing as their kitchen fire suffocated all the poor cunts above them, Here two story buildings are put on shitty little blocks that only require a small footprint, no one wants stairs in their house for obvious reasons.
New midwestern Canadian woodframe construction houses. The building itself is narrow but longer with 2 floors and a basement. Asking price is like 600,000 which is unbelievable for the amount of square meters the place is.

I bought a 2500 sq ft place early this year in NE OK for 300k and i STILL feel like i overpaid
>>522596055Checked, but let me explain something my ESL friend. You don't ask how a German does anything in Germany, they will undoubtedly always tell you.
>>522581148>why do murican houses just have a ground floor? are they too fat to walk up some stairs?We have something called EARTHQUAKES, here, something Germans would never understand.
>>522593685>but the houses are so uglyThe new ones look kinda sad, architects just design a few houses and let you buy them off a catalogue. Makes them cheaper but also really boring. Also those are probably prefab walls/houses
>>522596405I want to know the answer. What is the purpose of the niggers and arab men in german homes.Also your english is terrible and you need to go back to school if you think my english is from esl.

>>522582115You forgot wider. American homes have a larger floorplan and are twice as wide on average as a European home, but are less likely to have a second floor like yours does. Wide vs tall.

>>522603242Good luck touching that for any low multiple of your 100,000. I don't understand Canadian property prices either, they have lots of unsettled land all they have to do is go north of what's settled already, and they have infinite timber. But those are the prices.
