Right. But compared to Texas and some other Mid-western places, it's on the high side.
Renting a similar room in Texas goes for between $160-$200.

Definitely not in Dallas. $400 will get you a very sh1tty place not to mention $200

that is not true. .
In most European countries like italy, France and spain, their homes are built with cement. ....I think Americans likes doing their stuff different from others.
Take sport for example. ..football as we all know it, is played by foot but usa is played by chasing after the ball by both hands

He is right.

Wood is cheap and abundant. Building with wood is 3-5 times cheaper than building with cement only.

Easy to renovate too.
