Great answer. I think it’s the easy answer to think “stone hard and solid therefore built better.” My house made out of “shitty” plaster and wood has stood for almost 80 years in an earthquake zone in southern CA. With proper periodic maintenance (which is relatively cheap compared to renovating a stone house) it could stand for another century.
Fires on the other hand might ruin all that though…
