This happened to all of the houses along the road where I grew up.
The homes were in a flood-prone area so the insurance company decided that it was more cost-effective to raise all of the homes up on 8-10ft foundations rather than paying for the water damage that inevitably occurred every year. It's wild to see houses jacked up like that.

How the hell do you lift an entire house up like that?
