Around here, it is too cool and wet for stucco and all of them develop serious mold issues in the walls behind it because it doesn’t dry out. It is severe enough that many banks refuse to write mortgages for stucco houses. A few of the houses in this neighborhood had stucco fronts when built and have since been ripped off and replaced with vinyl, some of them to the tune of $100k for the additional mold and rot repairs.

SoCal is statistically only 1" of annual rainfall away from being a desert.
