    I’ve actually heard this from just about everyone I’ve met who lived in much colder climates then later came to Australia

            It’s not “America Bad”. It is “Capitalism Bad”. When a builder or contractor can save 5c in the dollar by half-arseing the job, and then come back to “fix” it and charge $1 extra for something that would have been 5c worth of extra work, they win and we loose.

              It’s “America bad” because it came up in an Australian community on an Australian instance in a discussion about Australian houses.

        The houses I’ve seen in America were thoroughly insulated and heated to cope with the climate. Large amounts of that country is subject to snow in winter. In Australia you only find snow on the mountains in the south east.
