A lot of people who moved from the North are not used to steel studs because they lived in a two story house. Typically, two story houses are constructed using wood studs because they are better and more economical for loadbearing walls to support the upper level. And, yes, if you have a high wall in your house with wood studs, you will usually see uneven and wavy areas on the drywall. If they used nails to attach the drywall, you will eventually start seeing "nail pops" all over the house.
