Edit- Beware when you have your dream home built on a cliff of sand.

Something about a foolish man building his house upon sand...

Be really careful when building on a slope.

Add "lots of fill dirt brought in to and added to the slope to create a building

Be careful when building a home in a location that enables you to look down your nose upon everyone else.

I've seen foundation/soil issues in the last two neighborhoods I've lived in.

Also don't build in Saratoga Springs due to very poor soil and foundation issues

R u seeing a lot of this in SS?

I think that was meant for me.

I think there is a primary song about this.

if that's the couple i'm thinking of, if they can afford a million dollar house,

Why do we belittle people that have good incomes?

TheLoneCougar

2/16/17 1:07pm

i'm not sure. especially since i wasn't belittling him. i just can't feel

So your sympathy is finite and exclusive?

Having just built a home, I really feel for these people. I hope they can get it

I am in your exact same shoes. Just closed on ours two weeks ago.

I see a lot of posts without any empathy. Kind of interesting

2/16/17 12:55pm

Exactly, well said Sir.

TheLoneCougar

2/16/17 1:09pm

Where I lose a little empathy is when they go after the City

kccougar

2/16/17 1:13pm

But if the city inspected the soil, permits, etc. then it is (partially)

TheLoneCougar

2/16/17 1:23pm

Not really. The City is (and shouldn't be more) just a check to see if the Building Codeso have been followed

kccougar

2/16/17 3:46pm

I agree they aren't responsible for quality of construction, but that isn't the

TheLoneCougar

The city definitely is in the mix for liability

On "news" people typically feel sympathy for a kidnapping, a murder, someone

Honest question....would any homeowners insurance cover this?

idacoug

2/16/17 12:58pm

No. This is specifically excluded in every policy I have ever seen.

I feel for them, but wonder why they spent more on a home than they can

Pick-Six Coug

They're probably being forced to pay mortgage + rent since they can't live there
