Vinyl is the Most Common Siding On New Homes Link Here
The most common exterior wall material was vinyl on homes started in 2012. Vinyl siding was used on 32 percent of the new homes started in 2012, followed by brick for 25 percent of homes. Stucco was the principal exterior wall material for at least 20 percent of the homes started according to the data from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Construction (SOC)
The SOC specifically collects data on whether the principal exterior wall material in a new home is vinyl siding (including vinyl-covered aluminum), brick or brick veneer, stucco, fiber cement siding (such as hardiplank or hardiboard), wood or wood products, stone, rock or other stone materials, and concrete block (not including stucco).
The Census Bureau’s SOC data is available by the nine census divisions. Vinyl siding was the most widely used primary exterior material in 6 out of 9 census division. In the Middle Atlantic and New England region, more than one-third of the new homes started used vinyl siding. The East and North West Central accounted for at least 62 percent while South Atlantic and East South Central accounted for 43 and 22 percent respectively.
From an environmental standpoint, vinyl (PVC) siding has been called a "disaster".[5] The production of PVC and its feedstocks, vinyl chloride monomer and ethylene dichloride results in the release of hundreds of thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals into the environment each year, mainly in poor, communities of color in Louisiana and Texas. PVC production is also a large source of dioxin into the environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_siding
Yet there are many on here who have claimed that yanks build far superior homes than here in Australia. American homes have mostly always looked like cheap paper and plastic shitboxes to me.

Mate, I reckon Aussie builders are the best in the world. That's why our property is so expensive. It's the quality of the craftmanship. The attention to detail. The materials we use. That's why you pay big dollars to own a slice of Oz mate. To the Europeans or the yanks or whoever I say: Eat your heart out, mate!

Quality housing in Brisbane Town? You mean like this?
Them blocks are too damn small, and there are many other reasons I wouldn't live in the ass end of Northgate or South Brisbane. You see, there aint a single street where there aint some big ass trucks rumbling through right by your house, abandoned sidewalks as everyone drives 3 miles into the CBD instead of walking, other than the baseball cap skateboarding youth, and graffiti everywhere.
The average house just aint that good a quality here. And that makes Billy Jack sad, friends.

What's the difference between a ghetto and an ass end suburb?
Are there areas of 'Brisbane town' that aren't ghetto's or ass end's?

The problems are explained here friend, and I can tell y'all they are true. Then again, I don't even get to Paddington. It's a long way to go just to meet some perm-bleach-haired woman driving a Holden SS. I believe I'll stick with the CBD. But even here they got rid of the Regent Theater just so they could build some ass-end ghetto like structure.
I can't argue with that. Because like every you tube clip you put up it's not understandable.

Friend, if you open your ear flaps and speak English you'll understand it perfectly fine. Many fine folks up here in Brisbane Town tell me that they love listening to my videos, without even watching them. I can't type no good so I speak into the microphone. I aint no location "snob" friend, but I will tell you one thing. There is a lot of ghetto like activity around the so called prestigious suburbs of Brisbane Town.
And that makes Billy Jack all sad friend. Why do they have to do it? And the quality of housing aint much good.

Comrade, there's nothing wrong with my ear flaps and they're open. I speak quite good English - it's my first language.
It's not my spoken English that is the problem, but yours.

I don't know why. Everyone on this forum has said you're clips are difficult to impossible to understand. No one's said they are clear or interesting.

Stick with the typing, it's much better than your you tube clips.
Friend the youtube clips aint produced in a Hollywood studio but they are fine and many fine folks here in Brisbane Town enjoy them. At my local cafe here people watch them on their portable computers even. The technology these days is really quite amazing and yes, if you open up your little ear flaps you can hear them real good. That's the beauty of the internet friend.
Ghetto? Well there are many things that are ghetto. A man told me just a few days ago that a society full of low IQ people and lazy folks who dream of getting rich on a rising housing market aint really a society is it? So that's ghetto. But there are many other factors too. Try these ones for a start friendo.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
