Straw Houses
Very flimsy. Very inexpensive. Likely hard to work with, one of many reasons straw is not widely considered a viable building material. A wolf can easily blow such a house down. Hell, a hungry goat could eat such a house. 3/10
Wooden Houses
The second little pig was a retard. He made his house out of a random bundle of fucking sticks. Firewood essentially. If he'd used some proper lumber the wolf wouldn't have blown his house down with such ease and he'd still be alive today. Ignoring the retarded second pig, houses made from wood are actually quite practical. 8/10
Brick Houses
Upon initial considerations brick seems safe and reliable. This is a falacy. Very unsafe in earthquake conditions. You don't want to be trapped under twenty tons of brick and mortar when the big one hits. Fairly safe from brisk winds and huffing puffing wolves. Have you ever read The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe? This demonstrates the gravest danger of brick and mortar buildings. You never hear about drunks being sealed and left to rot away in the niches of wooden or straw houses. 5/10
Glass Houses
Generally metaphorical. Would be highly impractical in real life. 2/10

if lightning were to strike a wooden house, however, the incredibly concentrated charge at one point in the inductive (non-conducting) material would cause your electrons to discharge from your body and ultimately, kill you.
what about igloos?
or caves?
