“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement.
And so I say, basement dwellers? In this economy?
I wonder why not. Most places I’ve lived that didn’t couldn’t due to the water table or ground stability. I wonder if it’s just cheaper with how shitty houses are being built now.
In the DFW area, the ground is largely unstable. Foundation issues are very common here because of how much shifting goes on. Much of the soil around where I live is a red clay that just disappears the moment it gets too wet.
Digging out a basement is expensive
