We got around the little prob...bought a house on a slab. There are drawbacks, of course, but I love the fact that the kids can tear around, jump rope, "leap tall buildings," etc, without shaking the house.
I've lived in plenty of slab houses, moving around when I was a full-time active duty guy all those years, but the big drawback to them emerges when the time comes (and it always does, eventually) that you have to get to the plumbing under it. Other than that one little thing, they're fine. My current (and I fully expect last) house is a stone farmhouse build in the 20s with a frame addition built in the 70s.
