So our building codes pretty stringent with making buildings on side of hills have a lot of concrete foundation type supports before they can build there these days?

Our little neighborhood has been in existence since 1920 and it took almost 85 years for engineers to figure out how to build on the hillside behind me. Unfortunately, it was figured out just one year after we moved in.
The houses behind us are all concrete and steel. They don't use wood beams or glue lam beams, they actually use steel girders to frame the house, just like those used for high rise buildings.
Here's a few before and after shots, just to give an idea of how the foundations were laid.
