Building with bricks adds 3x the cost compared to stick framing.

On top of that, they'll hold up better to a weak tornado, but anything over EF2 will structurally compromise one.

Add in all of the other disadvantages, and it is small wonder why people don't use them often in construction anymore.

They're pretty high up on the list of CO2 cost as well, between firing and shipping.

Those might not be common in the US or in your place but are very common in others and are at least in the country I live in, because they are just an investment.
