    Does that support ComradeSalad’s point? I.e. because if they were meant to last longer, they’d have been built differently?

      Yes and no. They would have been built different, but not from wood. Don’t have to go far for examples either: here’s a house that was built to last in Stalin period. ComradeSalad does raise valid points regarding temperature jumps and the need for upkeep - but the latter is an issue with the economic mode, not the materials.

      Besides, it’s the XXI century. Surely we can build things with materials a tiny bit more advanced than basic concrete
