No, this is traditional "Cracker house" construction. My house is
built this way.

Not unusual in areas with high water tables...and gives the termites
something beefy - the posts - on which to chew.

If your construction union buddies told you that, they are idiots. It
has absolutely NOTHING to do with termites. The piers and load bearing
walls are concrete. There are several advantages in a warm, moist
area. Helps keep moisture levels down, creating a draft under the
house helps cool it. Easier to get to plumbing than slab-on-grade and
on and on.
