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.
these are very popular where i grew up...at least, they were becoming very popular a few years ago.
i like it.

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?

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.
