I've always heard they're not popular bc of the water table making them leak too much.

Yeah, they don't exist in residential homes in Houston that I know of for the same reason. Maybe a few cellars in older nice homes, like others mentioned.

Only large commercial/institutional buildings have basements here for the most part, and the Downtown tunnels. They're fine until we have the once-a-decade major tropical storm that no one could have predicted hitting our region....
