The article is fairly UK-centric, and in the UK, most suburban homes are made of brick.

"Brick" homes are common in the US too, but most made after WWII are simply veneers over a structure of a different material. Are you sure that's not the case there? I did an image search for "uk home construction", and all of the instances on the first page also appear to be veneers.

I'm another UK resident/former resident who can confirm that at least some new suburban homes are constructed primarily from bricks.
