The mud hut crowd

While driving to Starbucks this morning my sports radio station had an ad on for a charity organization, and like many other of these ads they described the people they were going to help as "living in mud huts". Hmmm. Is that a bad thing?

Isn't living in a mud hut considered "earth friendly"? As far as I know most of the areas where people live in these mud huts there aren't large forests to make 2x4's out of. Should these charities be raising money for lumber instead of food?

Is it not possible to have a well built mud hut? I understand that building inspectors may not be checking the mud huts like I'm sure they use to, but is there some sort of mud hut cave-in death increase that we need to be concerned about?

Is the mud hut equivalent to being homeless, because I think in mid January many of the homeless in my area would love a mud hut. Or is it more equivalent to living in a trailer here in the US? If so my brother-in-law may have given me the answer when he once said "there are some really nice double-wides". Maybe we just need to give these folks mud hut additions, like a nice rumpus room or library.
