Unfortunately no one wants to pay for a house that could withstand 250mph winds, or doesn't want one because they think that it will look like a WWII bunker. To build a fully concrete house roof and all shouldn't cost more than around 130% of a normal house and they look like normal houses, just the finished walls end up being around the thickness of 2x6 construction.
The problem is a lot of people start off building a foundation for a 200mph+ wind resistant house, but then once the basement is poured they go 2x4 for everything above grade.
Yes avoid large groups of idiots.
