So the staff here predicted weeks ago, soon after the earthquake, that people would start using wood to build their homes instead of concrete. Wood is now seen as a more earthquake resistant material, and we and others have been concerned about the increased pressure on the already severely degraded tree resources. So, here, is the first example I have seen, in the neighbourhood where I am staying. I should say, if you haven't already figured it out, that this is what would be considered a middle class neighbourhood, where people actually have the means to make repairs to their homes.
