I really dislike the feeling of envy.
17 u/Kidney05 20d ago These waterfront locations always make me anxious from storm swells destroying them, so let that relieve your feelings of envy. 23 u/Scenick 19d ago Good thing it's in Scotland and not Florida, where homes are built from bricks instead of plywood. 1 u/Bobb_o 19d ago Most homes in Florida are stucco/cement. Also I don't think brick houses are flood proof. 6 u/Scenick 19d ago Maybe for the foundation, but as a Scot who lived in Florida for 6 years you’re either missing the point or talking out of your ass. There are houses in Oban Scotland older than the United States itself… the point was not every coastal area has the same drawbacks. 0 u/Bobb_o 19d ago I'm sorry I'm from South Florida where the building code was changed after Hurricane Andrew. Other parts of Florida might be different. Sea levels were also lower hundreds of years ago, not to mention climate change weather events.
