It's not as if we don't have these kinds of structures. In the city here, the buildings are constructed with steel-reinforced concrete. This construction method costs over twice as much as typical wood-frame housing.

Why would a normal American give up his 2,500 ft^2 nice new house for something half the size, just in order to be tornado-proof? Marketing?
