Why are you arguing for wood most argument or evidence that it is better can be ripped apart by the counter argument sure wood is good for fires and small homes but no large buildings there is a reason humans dont build temples, skyscrapers, towers and such with wood.

1.Steel may melt but wood is easier to catch on fire and steel is almost never on the interior design of a building it is almost always exterior.

2. Well not anyone can keep their wooden house spick and clean with no water leaking especially in coastal areas where flooding is more frequent such as new england and seattle (Superbowl anyone?) also most people areny going to go to Xtreme temps just stay away from mold and if your using wood theirs your food source

In conclusion concrete and steel are both sturdier and less hazardous wood is very weak under any regular fire and your screwed if you have a log cabing and your fire alarm sounds. Steel is so much better of a frame for any building which will be heavy wood would simply break. Concrete is more durable and will last longer than wood. I would muchrather have a hous built with concrete than wood mostly because i would avoid dangers, Rotting, bad looking and finnaly have a longer lasting home.
