You really need to travel around the world to understand how government really functioning in other countries. To set up a strong building code to protect citizen's lives is the government's responsibility. Our Lumber industry has so much influences in our politics; our government is reluctant to change. That’s why we keep on using tax payer’s money to rebuild houses in disaster’s area with more wood framed houses. This is not a solution. Wood framed houses just can not sustain the powerful force from the tornado or hurricane, it is commonsense.

Home builders is not going to volunteer to build RC concrete houses along the coastal area simply the building code does not require them to do so. The only way we can avoid disasters like Katrina and numerous tornado disasters is to come up with a safe and strong building materials to protect our people. And what's wrong with that?
