Housing in the Atlantic Coast

Here are what some typical houses look like in the Rosita and Sahsa areas. The houses in Sahsa have been rebuilt since Hurricane Felix in September 2007 and according to Edgar it looks much better now than then.
This first house is on the way from Rosita to Sahsa.

Yay for Sahsa/Rosita pictures! I really like how the first house, as poorly constructed as it looks, is painted an awesome green and yellow. Are they up on stilts because of animals?

Yes, a lot of houses are on stilts to keep out animals, and also I think to keep them above water if it rains a lot.
