When people will learn to build a decent house?

The fire at this Conshocken Apartment makes me believe that the roofing material used is actually far from fireproof. It amazes me how Mr. Joe Blow spends thousands of dollars on his home without worrying about a bit about firesafe. A safety alarm sure saves life- but at the same time it almost warrants charred home. If average Joe spends more $ initially to build/buy a better home upfront, he can save a ton for future in terms of regular maintenance cost as well as insurance costs.
Its time average Americans realise that cheap wood is no substitute to cement and concrete as building material. Though expensive they are not only long lasting and maintenance free but also least fire friendly. So its time to make the right choice, choose cement and kiln baked bricks for all construction purposes and be assured that you stay in a fire proof home/office and not sitting over a pile of matchsticks waiting to be ignited.
