House on Hill - Bad Idea?

I know some BMs live on a hill or are in property development.

Seems to be getting a house on a hill is a nice short-term thing at best. Maybe you would get 5-10 years out of the place before major repairs are needed. At most they drive some pilings down a few meters. I've also seen them just poor concrete in place. Doesn't seem they are going down to bedrock.

Given the rain we get and that surrounding properties don't always handle run-off water properly, seems there would be a lot of movement with the foundation. Eventually you'd get cracks and a very week structure.

Seaview is nice, but so is a solid structure.

Am I wrong in thinking this?
