May 2, 2021 at 0:43 comment added ThreePhaseEel @Fattie -- shortened things up a fair bit, and stepped back a bit from the quantitative side of the question as well
May 1, 2021 at 17:25 comment added ThreePhaseEel @SSpring -- 110MPH is small-potatoes to me (any house built to wind code can meet that). I've researched cold-formed steel (light gauge steel) framing fairly extensively myself as well -- there are some CFS/concrete composite floor systems out there that are not completely unreasonable matches with what I'm looking at, but they aren't quite as performant in some ways
May 1, 2021 at 16:52 comment added S Spring Lumber houses can be built to 110 MPH wind standards with lumber connectors, wood screws, and plywood sheathing. Or there is a construction technique of bolting double wall-studs to 304L set in a wet-pour foundation. Then a joist can sit on one stud and bolt to the side of the other stud. Finally, a bolted blocking is put in place between stud locations with the use of brackets. The whole house bolts together. Another possible construction technique is a light-gauge steel frame house.

reworked Q to clarify
Apr 28, 2021 at 11:31 comment added ThreePhaseEel @quid -- how much risk I'm at of overimproving given the numbers I'm looking at, and what I can do to mitigate it
Apr 28, 2021 at 6:32 comment added quid Is your question what are the risks of over improvement? What is the likelihood a neighborhood value will change? Why urban plots have different values from suburban lots? I don’t intend to be mean here but this reads like a journal entry not a question.
