Seems like a really stupid idea to build skyscrapers out of wood.

One BBW Huff and puff — you would think they would learn from the skyscraper of straw incident.

Where are the Portlandia snowflakes screaming about the destruction of Mother Earth’s sensitive forest lands?

Pretty sure that the demand for wood products in the US is pretty strong. The reason we aren’t using Oregon (or Washington, California, Idaho, .....) wood is because of spotted owls and other ways of putting our natural resources out of reach.
We get a lot of wood from Canada and Russia now. If the enviroweenies really cared about the environment they would allow us to log more. I can only imagine what the Russian forest management procedures are like.

Ben Franklin once wondered about people who built their homes out of the same substance you heated the house and cooked your food with.
