It's green washing at its best, but I'm a big fan of these wood building initiatives.

That said, it's still fuck Amazon!

🤦‍♂️ it's not the frequency, it's what happens when it starts to burn. There's a reason nobody wants to insure commercial buildings with frame construction.

I really don't give a shit about some YouTube video. The insurance industry actuaries know what they're doing.

Yes, but they only look at economic factors.

People dying in a burning building is very expensive for an insurance company. They tend to want to avoid it.
