I think basements in the hot climate would be a good idea. The house I live in now (in greater Boston) has a basement of course. There's a room down there that was converted into sort of a small speakeasy decades ago before air conditioning. It's a storage room now but it still has the bar... it's kinda funny. Anyway, the people did it so they'd have a "cool room" to hang out in during the summer months.

We had to jack hammer all of our plants in because of the bedrock. Certain areas of the city are clay and/blackland soils but a large part is bedrock.
