If had a dollar for every building on stilts because they had to fit a massive parking lot under them, I have enough money to build enough public transit to make every car obsolete.

    Hey, remember that apartment collapse in Miami? It was caused by the underground parking garage and the concrete supports down there decaying from water damage that was never fixed. Now imagine if there was no basement almost as big as the rest of the building. Instantly eliminate both a massive point of failure and also the excessive maintainence costs to ensure that point of falure doesn’t fail.
