I Regret Having This Sought-After Feature in My Home (It's Been Such a Pain!)
Briefly

The author reflects on their dissatisfaction with their large basement, primarily due to stress during rainy weather. As they consider relocating, especially possibly to Charlotte, NC, they realize that homes there often lack basements due to local geology. Instead of focusing on basements in their next home, they plan to prioritize other features, especially more closet space, indicating a shift in their housing preferences that seeks functional living spaces without reliance on basements.
I'm tired of freaking out every time there's rain in the forecast. Suffice it to say, a basement won't be on our must-have list for our next house.
I won't go as far as to say that it would be a deal-breaker for our next home to have a basement, but we certainly won't be eager to use it beyond storage or laundry.
