Here is another good example of the absolutely ridiculous crapola that American homeowners have to go through in order to enjoy a "quality" home.
"The ISO Fire Suppression Rating Schedule figures into homeowners premiums for property insurance. Ratings start at Class 9, indicating the lowest level of protection. In order for a community to receive an ISO rating of Class 8 or better, and for homeowners to enjoy a benefit on their insurance premiums, there must be a water source available that can supply 250 gallons per minute for a duration of two hours. "
-God forbid that all the houses are built out of stone, steel, or concrete -God forbid that all houses had rainwater collection and large cisterns that stay filled all year -God forbid that American wake up and realize they are being skinned alive through their taxes and being herded into managed communities where they have ZERO freedoms
In addition to having mandatory (regardless of who says otherwise) wood construction as the norm in the U.S. it can be something they can just shoot through and kick in, the real bonus is that once people are herded into the compact cities, "cleanup" will be as easy as a few matches, no extensive demolition efforts will be needed.
