Works for single family homes, but how are you going to put MURBS on
stilts and guarantee the footings won't wash out? One single family
house going down is not a disaster. An apartment building loosing it's
footing is.


Depending on the soil conditions, most MURBS are already on footings.
The only real change would be that the first floor, instead of being
apartments or stores or whatever, would be open.
