In *most* areas of Florida, only a fool would attempt to dig a basement.

You might start out digging a basement but by noon you'll soon have a
swimming pool. And the following morning you'll have gators in it.

Basements should be waterproof, like "reverse" swimmingpools. I'm told
they are in Holland, where the groundwater level is often as high as in
Jersey. But basements here can flood very easily ...
