The real underground.

There is an article in this morning’s New York Times describing a very interesting piece of real estate: 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (the Missile's Extra). The underground building used to be a missile silo and is now being offered on eBay as The Most Unique Real Estate In The World. Feels a bit like Tora Bora, NY.

The part I like is that those structures are available at all. I'm thinking that fewer nuclear missiles and more missile silo condos are good for the economy of the states/ countries offering them and for our welfare as a planet. Where can you go wrong with this? Really?

these are wonderful for the landscape too.
Building into the ground is very popular in Switzerland by the way. No building in Geneva is taller than 5 floors, but some are very serious underground structures.
Kraków in Poland is similar in that way. Stare Miasto, the old city is 5 floors of basements throughout. Fantastic.
