Right, destroy all those homes than cannot have a basement. You can
always settle those people on reservations in the Dakotas.

I wonder, with the automated heat systems that are now the norm, how
often does the average home owner go down and snoop about in the
cellar?
I spend a LOT of my time in the basement. Hardly a Cellar. Up here
the basement is VERY often finished, heated living space.
