My guess is that the biggest effect of the code upgrade will be to actually require a foundation for a home. At this time people are still building using precast concrete blocks which, in my opinion, are the structural equivalent of a mobile home.
So this means no more post and pier houses? I've always wondered why houses are built on post and pier here. It actually costs less to build a house on a slab foundation.
