    wood

    You can’t get obscene and unsustainable shitbox bungalow sprawl without using fires favourite food. Everything else is uncapitalist.

      Have you heard about brutalist apartment blocks? Row upon row of huge concrete and glass buildings with little green spaces. American style suburbs are less efficient but much easier on the eyes and not directly a capitalism issue. More of a cultural aesthetic.

          Concrete apartment blocks are a very capitalism fixture. Shoving a much poor people into an area as possible to extract more rent since each apartment has to be cheap enough for them to sorta afford it.

      Yeah you can. Older houses are typically not filled with oil based products(e.g. paints, flooring, plastic furniture) so even if they are wood, it takes much longer for them to start really burning. Whereas a modern room in a modern house becomes inescapable in seconds.
