Basically, in Australia, we do not need them, pubs have them to keep the beer cold, but i have only ever seen one house locally with a traditional basement
But as a few have said, the basement is about putting the foundations low enough not to be interfered with when the ground freezes over during a cold winter
I remember seeing a guy building his games room in Minnesota, the foundations were very deep
Quoted from StoneyCreek:sweet lineup. I love seeing collections grouped by theme.
you should see his whole room
It is also what people are used to
Basements are not under every house in the USA, I don't think they are common in Florida
Quoted from punkin:1/4 is standard in city suburbs here (or was when i was a kid), and 1/2 was the local doctors place.
1/4 acre is 1011m2
most city blocks for sale are about 400-500m2, at about $1000 per m2
