Especially here; the ground is mostly rock. Basements are rare, unfortunately, and most homes are built through deals with commodity developers packing copies of the same ~~people storage units~~ houses into whatever rectangle of desert they've most recently razed. Most people have been sold on ignoring their environment by concentrating on their indoor habitat; no developer (save for maybe Cul de Sac Tempe) has any wider consideration than the immediate offloading of "units".
