Yeah, we also have a lot of wood. And wood structures are less labor intensive. Also, none of our buildings are over 300 years old, so we don’t need a lot of skilled stonemasons around to maintain them. And we’re further south than Europe, so cooling houses is a bigger concern than keeping them warm (though that reason is rapidly changing).

Insulation is way better than solid rock walls or whatever Europe uses.
