Many luxury homes in the United States and Canada are built of wood. Canada has a vast territory and a sparse population. In order to reduce costs, building with wood and using local materials is the best approach. California is located in an earthquake zone, and building houses with wood can reduce damage during earthquakes. Otherwise, the casualties would be even greater when concrete buildings collapse. The Gulf of Mexico is often windy, as is the Pacific coast. Therefore, wooden houses must be able to withstand wind speeds of 200 kilometers per hour as a passing standard. Therefore, during the Bush era, there was a super hurricane with a speed of up to 250 kilometers per hour, which also caused heavy casualties.
Just like Hong Kong or other big cities, luxury homes are mostly built on hills, overlooking the world. But in addition to some of California’s luxury homes facing the Pacific Ocean, some are also deep in the mountains. Because there are many trees in the mountains, the trees come into play in the summer. Just as some totalitarian countries have used considerable power to manipulate people’s freedom of speech, California’s DEI love and tolerance policy has also used tremendous power to promote and spread WOKE culture. Dead leaves and branches left on the mountain without anyone cleaning them up can also lead to natural forest fires, or they can be destroyed once they occur. It’s a pity that they didn’t read the 84th chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms carefully – Burning linked camps over 700 miles. In 222 AD, Liu Bei camped among the woods to escape the summer heat, but Lu Xun burned down his camps for 700 miles. Governor Newsom has not even read one of the four great books of China. He should be punished by copying Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The city design is fundamentally wrong, and whether there will be water sources in the future is another issue.
