Do they do that shoddy construction with cheap crappy wood, chicken wire, and styrofoam?

Because the ground also shakes. Wood is better for earthquakes.

Brick buildings also burn.

Brick buildings are horrific at handling horizontal stress and will collapse. Guess what the US deals with even more than wild fires? Hurricanes...
