On the one hand, it is clear that a good climate allows you to do so. But on the other hand, in these places there are hurricanes and these hurricanes often destroy houses.

A lot of Americans buy standardized home designs that are engineered to provide a lot of home for the money. When you get into custom home builders you'll see much more robust construction.
