Will China Housing Market Follow the U.S. In a Mortgage Bust? (why China's housing market is far from developing a bubble)
So there's little hope of a burst bubble bringing down raw material prices & helping American homebuilders produce more affordable homes to market to buyers w/ damaged credit from our own housing bubble. This means if US builders hope to sell more homes they must look to alternative building materials, such as light-gauge steel -- ideally something even more unconventional that can be demonstrated to satisfy building codes and withstand various gravity loads (from selfweight, people & inanimate contents, and snow) and lateral loads (from wind and earthquakes). Another approach might be to dismantle (not demolish) obsolete structures in such a way as to recover usable building materials for new construction.
