A Poll and Thread About Basements

Wisconsin, and yes. Almost all have basements.

Charlotte, NC- uncommon.

They don’t have one at the Alamo, either.

Are you sure? I think I saw a red bike in the Alamo’s basement, last time I was there.

Cayman Islands beachfront. No basement. House is on pillars and waves can wash under the house in a hurricane. Easy access under the house - no crawling required - to reach the cisterns.

Houses on pillars are a feature of northern Thailand too, and I lived in one while I was up there. They’re pretty neat. Up there, there are no worries about waves though.
