Please don’t be upset, this question isn’t of practical importance; I’m just curious and hope this forum allows room for such questions.
I’ve heard in passing and have been thinking about it that "in the USA," houses often have a small crawl space (not a basement) beneath them where flexible pipes for water, sewage, etc., are located. If you want to change the layout of the rooms above, it’s apparently very easy because the pipes under the house are freely accessible and can be routed into any room as needed. It seems a bit more complicated here in Germany. Do you know why that is or what disadvantages this American-style construction might have? I saw this on the TV channel HGTV, which features many home renovations.

Unfortunately, too many people take such statements seriously and fail to appreciate the many things that work, thanks in large part to effective politics. Anyone who genuinely holds this as an opinion either lacks common sense or pursues goals for which stirring up trouble is useful.Has anyone ever attended a local council or city council meeting where topics like schools, daycare centers, hospitals, refugees, or even worse, a kindergarten parents’ meeting were discussed?
No matter which political party you belong to or what opinion you represent as a politician, everything you do is wrong – even just breathing.
