I have been known to harp on the wood framing used on townhouses and low rises in town, but that is not the intent of this question Construct Student. It's purely curiosity. I am wondering:
a) what you think of wood framing as an urban rowhouse construction material;
b) what is the most durable, water resistant sheething to ensure that it suffers the least water damage over time; and
c) why don't townhouse and low-rise multi-family builders use metal studs over wood framing?
