Second stories or basements. No stairs for me. I hate attics used as storage. Carports over garages. Rock and xeriscape over lawns
Texans and their insane aversion to stairs. Is walking up or down something really that much of an annoyance?
One would think with their proclivity to tornados, EVERY building in Texas would have a basement.
It is almost like they want their houses to be blown away.
We got the room to have everything on one floor.
You will never understand the superhuman perspective of financier who lives on the 52nd floor, nor a that of the subhuman basement dwelling NEET
It's because it's hot as heck in Texas. You can either stick to a single story to make climate control simple, screw around with multiple zones ($$$), or suffer through a +10 degree temperature differential between the main level and the second story.
Yeah, that is what I hate about multiple story buildings everywhere. Its fixable and a mini-split or two goes a long way but its just stupid. I do like having a basement though. I wish I had a wood burning fireplace/stove still though.
