Would You Live in a Doomsday Bunker?

Affordable housing exists underground.

What if you could buy a virtually indestructible home — complete with a generator, solar panels, Internet, lights, kitchen appliances, modern bathrooms, and fully furnished bedrooms and living rooms— for a fraction of the cost of an average house in the U.S.?

And if some awful disaster befalls the human race, you merely shut the heavy exterior door to your abode and wait it out.

When I found the Vivos Global Shelter Network website, I was amazed at how reasonably priced their homes are.

The Vivos xPoint community, set in the wide-open spaces of South Dakota, would appeal to the lone wolf writer who likes to get away from it all.

There you won’t get distracted while writing your Medium stories.

You may even lose track of time living underground. (It would be a good idea to install a battery-powered clock on a wall.)

I have seen decommissioned missile silos that are large underground complexes divided into separate apartments.

This complex is different. Each Vivos xPoint home is situated on its own land, with a 99-year lease.

Hopefully, you wouldn’t need to live underground that long. Maybe six months to a year would be long enough to survive an alien invasion or a zombie outbreak.

If you had 24 hours’ notice of an impending disaster, whom would you bring along to your secret bug-out location?

These bunkers are roomy enough to house several generations.

What a brilliant way to repurpose these former military bases: as comfortable homes for people of all ages and socioeconomic groups.
