I think your example here is ironic because the wooden house in Japan was developed to be as lightweight as possible so that when earthquakes and natural disasters like that struck, the people would not be crushed by a heavy house.
You simply don't know what's going on around the world for the past 50 years. It's really funny when you make a comment like this.
