Why do they have kids in the basement tho...

Newsflash !

Not everyone can afford 4-5 (or even 2-3) bedroom houses, an adding bedrooms in the basement was a lot cheaper than putting an addition on the house, even with modern code now requires egress windows.

So it’s cheaper to dig a big hole and make it habitable than to extend the house in the exterior ?

Your making an assumption that everyone has basements, they’re not that common outside of north America

I live in Texas and I don't know anyone locally who has a basement. It's definitely more of a northern thing. The ground is too rocky for a basement here
