You live in the flat part of Missouri I don't.You said you live in Missouri. The only houses in the Midwest that don't have basements are berm houses, trailers, dumps & OLD houses. So which do you live in.Not around here where the ground is very hard and the hills are steep. The cops around here tried to harass me when I first moved here but after a simple case of entrapment of them breaking the law with the prosecuting attorney as a witness and my lawyer witnessing it happening they never do anything but say hi now.You seem to live in a world where there are many basements. Where I am from there are few basement in ranch style homes.There are people being paid to create mayhem and discredit the protests against policy brutality.
WaPo reports:
Antifa is a honky dominated organization, no doubt about it.
However, where are the "payments" to which you refer? I saw the pic of the gentleman in Pittsburgh turning himself in, he just looked like a lost liberal living in mum's basement.
Even ranch style homes usually have basements here in the great state of Pennsylvania.
Don't think it has to do with hills or flat...I think it is soil composition. Very few basements here...and we are very flat. High clay content in the soil though. We have a cellar...and two sump pumps to keep it dryish in the rainy season.
We built a house with a basement for a friend of mine. The clay soil pushed the block wall in twice. Finally held after we ran rebar down through the blocks and poured a soupy cement to fill up the blocks.
