Check out Mother Earth News magazine, they've been running articles on these, and on zero energy houses, since the 1970s at least. A lot of the myths can be put to rest, but like anything, it depends on if it's done right. And stick built houses are not particularly resistant to wind or fire, either. Some of the new engineered wood beams, etc burn hotter, faster, and are more dangerous than regular lumber. Many stick built houses are insulated with stuff that's as flammable if not more so than straw. The right straw is even resistant to termites supposedly. Again, it all depends on if it's done right. Do any house wrong and it'll suck.
On 20 Mar 2012 in My renting vs. buying dilemma, CSC said:
Yes, I've both rented and owned single family houses. If you find the right house and a decent landlord it's a good experience, renting. My family benefitted tremendously from the mobility that renting gave us when my spouse needed to move every few years for work. I never missed "ownership" and am only considering it again now because it's getting to the point where it may make more financial sense to buy at this time, or soon.
