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.

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

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