Are lifted houses trashy? **SOLVED** (yes)

Like houses not on a slab. Can't say I've ever seen a house that isn't on slab in nice neighborhood. Plenty of lifted houses in shitty hoods though.

Have you ever been to the Mandeville lakefront?

Depends on what they're lifted with. Cinder blocks...trashy. Wooden stilts by a body of water...not trashy.

I'm guessing you don't live near water.

Very trashy. It's like wow those people couldn't afford to make repairs after a flood or something.

You mean pier and beam construction, some of the most expensive homes in this area built in that manner, one down the street here is for sale at 1.9 million.

What are the house nuts made of?

My Mawmaw got her house lifted 12' after Rita. It's really nice having the whole area under your house to do stuff.

People aren't even creative with trolls anymore.

Lifted with tires and axles, definitely trashy! Crawl space not so bad.

What do you mean by lifted houses? Houses on stilts, conventional foundation, etc.?
Posted on 9/27/16 at 8:27 pm to Chuker
Depends on how it was done. If it was done after Katrina with fema money it's trashy.

trashy

Have you ever been to the Uptown neighborhood in New Orleans?

I'll take my lifted house on the water any day over concrete slab house.

I grew up in a pier and beam house. It was old. And also not in a subdivision. It was a lot more common in older houses. Certainly not automatically trashy as there are tons of extremely nice pier and beam homes. Not just to prevent flooding. But most are not going to be newer construction or in your 50k/year millionaire, cookie cutter neighborhoods (which I'm not totally knocking since I live in one).

Then you need to get out more and look around.
Crawl space homes are very common where I am. In fact, slab homes are typically the cookie cutter cheap houses from what I've seen. I prefer crawl space to slab actually. Best of all, all the utilities are under the house and are easier to maintain.
Another edit: Not to mention, the storage space of a home with a crawl space. It is awesome.

Yes- because radon and termites are so classy

My grandma built her house on wooden pilings and everyone thought she was crazy. 4 months after it was finished Hurricane Juan flooded everybody but her and they all had to take boats to her house.
