• Consider how badly-built suburbia is.

A lot of suburbia will simply become the slums of the future. Most of the rest will be salvage or ruins.

It's the only product I will consider substituting for wood, and in many climates it's significantly preferable because of its stability.

The French and Germans spell it 'aluminium', too, but they're foreigners who don't speak Earth-standard. You'd think the British, however, using our language, would be more careful
