Wait where are you for wooden houses not to be a thing?

AFAIK most places in Europe use brick, at least the UK does

But like, what's the structure of the house made out of? I can't imagine the structural bits can be made out of bricks?

Why not? Pretty much everything except the roof structure is made of bricks. My house is entirely bricks; an outer and an inner wall separated by a gap with insulation, with a wooden skeleton for the roof secured to the brick walls. All interior walls are either made of bricks (the originals built with the house in the 60's) or aerated concrete blocks (added in a refurbishing later in the 00's).

I’m jealous of how seismically stable the area you live is.

Bricks crumble, wood flex.
