Why is the durable, environmentally sustainabler, net cheapest option always the one that is out of reach for the average person? It would look so swag. My crow brain is HEAVING! I want to live in the shiny penny house.

Also could anyone who has put on a metal roof share about their experience? Did it feel worth it? I'm planning to die in this house and I'm still young.

What's the lifespan of American housing?

A lot of the new construction ain't shit but I am living in a really well-built old brick house. Inshallah it will outlive this hypothetical copper roof.

Copper lasts for ages too though doesn't it?

I would understand shingles more if building were like the Japanese style of lasting not very long at all

It can last up to 1000 years in some cases!

Lots of houses last 100 years or more.
