What's stopping us? Not all of us have to, obviously, but at least some of us can live that way.

If our antiquated predecessors could sometimes manage it, I'm sure we can too. Maybe even better.

Homes are mostly empty space, gotta move more stuff to empty them out than to move the walls into place.
If you're building your house above ground, you know exactly what's in the way (bunch of air). If you're building underground, you have to deal with a bunch of different kinds of ground, and you don't fully know which ones where until you start digging.
