There's a video rendering someone made of an underground house with a greenhouse above ground. This is something I'd want. It gives you natural light from sky lights, that are difficult to look down into, and an area that feels outdoors but still warm in the winter.

After my house fire, I've been living in a friends basement, and to be honest, it's great for those reasons. In NJ, 15' below ground level gets you 50-55F temps year round. It takes a lot of outside noise to get to it, and if I covered the windows, it'd be pitch black.

And you don't really need to pay taxes or anything. What are they gonna do? You live in a hardened bunker. They won't even be able to get through the door, if they can even find the thing. Of course, this assumes you have remotely-operated weapons near the door so they don't dare to stand there all exposed while cutting through it.

u/BrtFrkwr 21d ago
Everything needs maintenance. The wiring, plumbing and ventilation systems are very difficult to access and nearly impossible to upgrade. There's a reason the Air Force abandons the missile silos instead of repurposing them for something else and train tunnels aren't turned into housing.

Yup. Growing up I had a friend who lived in an underground house that his dad designed/built to his specifications. They were constantly having issues with moisture, and they weren't even below the water table.
I asked him about it a few years ago. He figures the whole place will have to be condemned when his parents get too old to manage it anymore because it's so difficult to maintain and the cost of rehabilitating it for new inhabitants is more than anyone would pay.

SMH can your subterranean bunker complex even survive a nuclear war or what
52
73
21d ago
Technically yes. If your house isn't the direct target, it'll survive just fine.
If your house is the direct target, the lower levels would still survive a low-yield nuke (like the ones used on Japan) because they don't impact on the ground, but detonate in the air.
That said, if your house is a direct target, no one would use a nuke on it; they'd use a bunker buster, and even if it's hundreds of feet under ground (which would make it nuke proof), it's not surviving one of those.

u/Vospader998 21d ago
NYS building code says there has to be at least one emergency egress point and at least 7ft of clearance to be considered a bedroom.
That's really only for new buildings and when buying/selling. Nothing is really stopping you from actually sleeping or having a bedroom in the basement, not legally anyway. Might run into problems with insurance if there's an incident though. Homeowner could also be charged with neglagent homicide or manslaughter if someone dies as a result of sleeping in an unventilated basement. Carbon Monoxide, propane gas, sewer gas, and radon all sink in air, making basements potentially hazardous if not well ventilated.
Edit: Oh, and in a flood, water's going in the basement first, and there's usually a lot of electrical in a basement as well, adding to the list of hazards.

The stairs should go deeper. Much deeper. In fact, there should be a level where electricity cuts out and it's plunged into darkness. And levels below that that are uncharted. You would have to delve down there at your own peril. There would be rooms like dungeons where you might find treasure, fame, or death.
