I presume they build cheap because nothing will survive so a re build is much easier l.
Nah.
Build cheap
I could be dreaming but insurance wonāt cover them either I think
Concrete house will withstand wind better & usually wonāt float away.
Itās down to the Heat too Iād imagine, probably easier keep cool in warmer climate.
Iām not sure much will withstand a category 4 hurricane tbh
Itās one reason. I researched this once. They have an abundance of cheap wood so most houses are built on stilts rather than a foundation. Hence the ācrawl spaceā they always talk about in movies.
These crawl spaces seem to be popular in colder areas also, which I couldnāt understand. Itās just a cheaper build with wood.

But theyāre fastened to the foundationsā¦by a couple of bolts.
