The water table in Florida is pretty low, so basements would flood there. Also, the ground tends to be kind of swampy, so as it shifted, basements would settle so the walls and foundation would be more prone to warping, cracking, and leaking. It just isn't very feasible to have basements in Florida.

Florida homes are approximately 10 feet above the water table.

We do in some places....However, in most of Florida you'd have an indoor pool instead of a basement.

because they don't need it.. think about it the last place you want to be in during a Hurricane is a basement.. tidal surge would flood the basement and then what??? Whenever a Hurricane is coming i pack up and leave.... after Katrina the safest place to be for a Hurricane is in another state...

Because the water table is shallow, and basements will flood .

cause then you'd have a small basement, if you go six feet down youd hit the aquifers, so thats why we cant have basements.

Because they would be full of water, so they build all their homes on cement slabs.
