"As of 2022, the median homeowner tenure in the US is 12.3 years. This means that half of all homeowners stay in their homes for less than this time, and the other half stay for longer.
Average length: The average length of homeownership in the US is around 8 years. This number takes into account all homeowners, regardless of how long they stay in their homes, and can be skewed by a small number of people who stay in their homes for a very long time."
The Great Pyramid has been attributed to Khufu and it's stood for almost 4,000 years. Scholars are still debating if he lived long enough to see it completed.
I know that the pyramids weren't built for residential housing, just gloss over that for the next sentence. I, like Khufu, am pretty sure that whatever I build or buy is going to outlive my tenure. So while I know stick homes are inferior to some other types of housing, I'm not going to live long enough to care. Nobody expects a wood house to last forever, but with proper maintenance they usually outlive the builders.
