Some good points about it no doubt.
-
I don't think the benefits you mentioned would outweigh the lack of natural light. After a while, you'd just want to get the heck out of there.

and you could sell your roof as a graveyard

Here's what a real underground house looks like ....
-
Even has a yard ....
-
bodybuilders have been living more or less underground for decades when counting all hours in dungeon typ gyms
-
Sewer dwellers in Las Vegas ... No bodybuilders here though! Just a few GetBiggers.

Hey, KWON...
That underground house is near Flamingo Road, Las Vegas was built as a spacious Cold War bunker, to keep people alive and entertained in case the Soviets wiped out Las Vegas with a nuclear missile strike.
A mysterious group calling itself the Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species bought the house at 3970 Spencer St. for $1.15 million.
It’s unclear what the group plans to do with it, and if its name is a joke or symbolic of some kind of ideology.
The two-bedroom, three-bathroom underground home might be the most peculiar in Las Vegas. Built beneath a typical, suburban two-story house, the bunker home spans more than 5,000 square feet and is part of a 15,200-square-foot basement that also features a casita.
It has a four-hole putting green, a swimming pool, two jacuzzis, a sauna, a dance floor with a small stage, a bar, a barbecue and huge murals of rural, tranquil settings.
The home, with unchanged “Brady Bunch” decor, also has a laundry room, a kitchen, a fireplace, a generator, fake trees, fake flowers, two elevators, fire alarm bells, smoke detectors, an intercom system and several large pantries.
Light switches labeled “Sunset,” “Day,” “Dusk” and “Night” mimic lighting conditions at those times by dimming or brightening lights and stars on the ceiling, which is painted sky blue with white clouds.

I don't think you'd like it there, RATHER. It's a real stinky mess.
That last underground picture with the lady looking up towards the sky-light looks like it was a posed publicity shot taken someplace in ASIA.
Actually ...it's a beautiful photo.
-
maybe you get used to the stink
-
It sounds like you have never had a shit-in-your-pants-on a crowded-NY subway-on a hot-summer-day-incident, RATHER.
Well, neither have I, ..... but I have been within five feet of a poor old street dweller who did.
It stinks but worse of all .... it's very sad.
You would not want to go down there.
-
It would depend on where you live....
In Houston, no one has cellars because there is an aquifer only 30-40 feet down...It is possible to build a water tight basement in Houston and for a while many places had underground walkways and the like...But Harvey has made businesses and institutions rethink about having infrastructure underground in Houston...you may be able to stop the leakage from the underground water...but deluges of water from weather can still fill them up...I have heard that new buildings at the University of Houston have no basements...HVAC and electric rooms are on the first floor.
If you live where there is granite in the ground...you have a radon challenge.
-
The lighting situation would suck. I remember in a past life I lived in one for awhile. It was musty and full of soldiers. It was an okay bunker, until the Soviets ruined it...
-
I just arrived home from the airport. Was on vacation.
I go into the plane lavatory after a mom and her little kid and am immediately smashed with a horrendous stench. Lift the seat cover to rock a piss and ... that tiny girl left a feisty turd in the bowl.
Mom didn’t bother to flush it.
Fortress was not amused.

Trolls and hobbits?

Tons of deltoid aka Reptilians live underground---underneath LA. They save on gas and electricity, use the homeless for food.
-
My master bedroom is in the basement of my house. You can feel the temp getting 5-10 degrees (F) cooler when going down the stairs. It's not underground per se, but the next best thing.
-
My gym is in my basement. 9 foot ceilings. Never hot and never cold. Just right.

That's not underground, but more above ground with earth on top of the house for isolation or better integration into the landscape
Looks cool, but might be more difficult to sell
Building underground isn't very smart, with climate change and probably more extreme weather / floodings underway....

Nice touch of them adding a "lawn" even though it's artificial!
Helps get the people's mind off things.

Deltoids? Shoulders?

funky, you should visit opal mining city Coober Pedy in South Aussie !. 8)

Lived in apt that was half underground. Was great for energy. Kind of regret ever moving from there actually.
-
and you could sell your roof as a graveyard
LOL,
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I would love a real fallout shelter man cave. Shit would be epic!

You have to be careful when you enter underground chambers that have been unoccupied. Bacteria can "breath up" all the oxygen and people going in can suffocate.
Telecom vaults have to be ventilated for 20 minutes before it is clear for crew to enter.
Underground living would entail the HVAC system being more of a "Life Support" system I would imagine.

HTexan...you in Austin?...you might have to worry about radon...
-
I have a hill block. I intend to build a tunnel from the middle of the slope to the large basement of the workshop on the top of the hill. About 100 feet. I know it sounds nuts but it would be really cool. Who has a tunnel? I kind of want an underground pool too so I can feel like Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor.
The problem with underground is the mustiness. Basement and tunnel would be atop a drainage plane and moisture barrier, with walls and tunnel ceiling having a moisture barrier and ventilation plenum. Pumps and fans governed by sensors.
-

??? Why?
-
Granite bedrock in the ground...The one problem Houston doesn't have as far as underground construction is radon. Locales with bedrock tend to have radon problems as far as cellars go. Austin has bedrock.

I do love the idea of living underground, but there are a number of problems in the country where I live:
– Moisture can't be driven outside by heat. So you will need a dehumidifier in the space between the outside earth and the insulation. And good ventilation system (find more by link https://highperformancehvac.com/)
– Light.
– Permissions… no idea.

No one on here lives underground but a lot live in the closet.

According to a few “industry experts”, everyone who posts on GetBig lives in their mother’s basement.

Would that industry expert be the guy with the pumpkin head and a body disorder named after him?
