What are the advantages and disadvantages of the previous tile house compared with the current reinforced concrete building?

Nowadays, both rural and urban housing will be organized with this kind of reinforced concrete, but in the past, that is, in the 1980s, most of the houses built were tile-roofed houses, and of course, this kind of housing structure is also mostly in the north.

The biggest drawback of this tile house is that it is easy to leak rain. Basically, I go to the roof every other year to replace the old net, so I lived in this tile house when I was a child.

It is no exaggeration to say that when it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly indoors, and my mother will use various containers to pick up the rain. When I was a child, I was not sensible, and I preferred to listen to the drip of rain on the washbasin. So there are fewer traditional tile houses in rural areas, and most of them will be replaced by glazed tiles, because glazed tiles look more atmospheric and have a longer service life. Compared with tile houses, they also have certain advantages, that is, the cost is relatively low, unlike reinforced concrete houses that require huge investment.

I remember that old tile house. They don't even have a cement structure. They are all yellow mud houses. On the top of the house, a wooden shelf was put, and then boards were nailed to the wooden shelf and tiles were laid on the boards. This is an ordinary house.

I often hear my father tell me that in their time, people could build a big cement tile house all their lives, which was their lifelong dream. So everyone will go out to work to make money, and when they come back, they will build a big tile house, which makes them feel very proud in the village.

Now the cities and rural areas have been replaced by cement and steel bars, but it gives me the feeling that although the houses are getting stronger and stronger, people's hearts are getting colder and colder, especially in rural areas, and they become very depressed. Most young people have gone to live in the city, leaving only lonely old people.
