@Aka mpole si hii ni common. Americans were actually surprised that houses in Kenyan are made of concrete, so I watched on a certain TukTuk video.
These apartments were built in the 1920s. Still standing strong 100+ years later.

Windows everywhere.
Mbona kenya tunapenda blocks tu. Very few buildings kuna windows for natural light
Windows are pricey.
Most kenyan rentals ni shida tupu. Giza everywhere even during the day.
American building structures are all made of wood or wood-like recycled materials to help in their weatherization process.
That’s why they burn down so fast… I’m actually surprised you just discovered this.

Wood helps with creating insulation spaces, and Insulation in your home provides resistance to heat flow and lowers your heating and cooling costs.
Properly insulating your home not only reduces heating and cooling costs but also improves comfort.
If your house has quality roofing and siding but is not well insulated, your house will be somewhat protected from the weather and outside elements, but its occupants won’t be as comfortable as possible. Heat naturally flows from warmer areas to cooler areas. Insulation helps resist this airflow through walls, ceilings, roofs, and other surfaces of the home. It stops heat from exiting the house in the winter and entering the house in the summer, acting as a protective barrier between you and the outside conditions.
Unauliza swali kama hii na unajua vizuri sana @johntez addi gaza msafi and crew, akina @Mtabora are lurking around. Kenyans hawaweki that big windows juu ya security
I’d love to see one burn.
In cold climates, timber houses can retain lots of heat when the outside is cold and remain cool when when outside its very hot
Wind kidogo nyumba imeenda
This is really embarrassing :D:D
Exactly. The house is blown away.
Yeap, heating a concrete house during winter can cost you alot of money. So Styrofoam and Wood are the preferred building materials
Here’s another American surprise for you while at it…They Never Lock Their Doors… :D:D:D
[SIZE=7]Police: Woman drank White Claw, cooked Hot Pocket, bathed in stranger’s Trumbull County home[/SIZE]

Police were called on Wednesday after a Brookfield Township resident returned home and found an unknown woman, later identified by investigators as Cassandra Pacheco, inside.
Brookfield Township police said the 59-year-old admitted to entering the home after she found an unlocked door.
Pacheco then drank part of a White Claw beverage before putting it back into the refrigerator, cooked a Hot Pocket and lasagna, and took a bubble bath in the stranger’s home, according to police.
“Reminder to lock not only your car doors, but also your house doors. You never know who you might find making dinner or taking a bath when you get home,” Brookfield Township police shared on Facebook.
It’s not known at this time why Pacheco picked the particular Brookfield Township neighborhood.
Pacheco was on the porch of the house when police arrived. She was booked at the Trumbull County Jail for burglary.

You should note that these places are also prone to the harshest natural calamities such as tornadoes etc
