If our civilization would switch to individual wood houses, assuming that cut trees were regrown, that would allow to capture quite a sizeable chunk of carbon as well.

Those planks and beams will still rot, burn, etc. None of this is in any way a long term solution for anything it seems.

As they rot, people would replace them, so overall captured carbon will be maintained as long as our civilization alive.

My only concern is that building those houses might actually emit more carbon than they are supposed to keep. But assuming that we moved from Oil era to Nuclear and/or Renewables, that should not happen.
