Pictures 1, 2, and 12 in the gallery and that one with the staircase are all from different yachts. The indoor pool is from a company that makes indoor pools, no sign that it's from the bunker. The weird part is that rest are legit. Kavak fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Their website is good for a laugh though, what with its unspecified danger level indicator just approaching level red (whatever that means), and an inability to string two sentences together without mentioning that people have been panicking for all of human history as proof that the endtimes are NearTM. If I had $Texas to throw around I would totally buy an impenetrable underground bunker though, just in case the proles decide to have another glorious revolution in my lifetime.

There was a Punisher comic called The End where Castle goes to one of those bunker, forces the doors open and ensures the super rich die in a nuclear holocaust with the rest of the plebes. And machine guns a bunch of them for good measure. Good poo poo.

I wanna see all the rich people standing around an overflowing toilet and no one knows how to fix it, because all their knowledge is about high-frequency-trading and inheriting money. (Wasn't there a movie where the earth gets destroyed or something and only billionaires get to escape in a spaceship? Make that one a comedy about the most useless and entitled crew ever. And then have them slowly choke to death because Enrique isn't there to change the air filters.)

That's why you bring staff. See their 'typical' design for your 2500 sq feet of tunnel.  10 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths. Potentially space for 20 people. Except 3 of those bedrooms are master suites with a private bathroom and spacious sitting area. The other 7, potentially 14 people, are cramped boxes together sharing a total of 2 showers and 3 toilets. 10 bedrooms, but the dining table only seats 8 people. Home theater seats 8. Everyone in this set up is not remotely equal.

Are there any high-rise apartment building split-level units? An eighty-story high-rise divided into three-floor units, with three bedrooms and a bath up top, a living room, dining room, and kitchen in the middle, and utility space/rumpus room on the bottom would be a sight to behold. Even with a divided entry. If this doesn't exist, why not?

It's not a stretch to think there's a three floor apartment somewhere in the world. I imagine the cost of those would be downright prohibitive for 99.99% of the planet.

Even with a divided entry. If this doesn't exist, why not? Probably because of the space wasted by additional staircases. Staircases are bulky, as anyone who has just given up in The Sims and stuck the staircase on the outside of the house knows. Depending on codes they'll need to have two staircases going the entire height of the building, and since people hate to walk you'll also have an elevator or two. All those need to be there regardless of how the individual units are set up. Add a typical home staircase at 10 ft long by 2-3 ft wide and you are losing 20-30 sq ft of living space per unit, per floor for what are essentially decorative items. Having a 3000 sq ft apartment all on one floor just works better than having that same square footage spread over 2 or 3 floors.

Dunno, but there was the bit in the Hitchhiker's guide where the Golgafrinchans loaded all of the executive hairstylists and telephone sanitizers and lawyers and people like that into Ark B because the 'end of the world' was coming and told them that the A Ark would have all of the leaders and scientists and the C Ark would have all the people who actually did stuff, and they were right behind them. And then shot Ark B off into space. Sadly, the Golgafrinchans were then wiped out by a disease contracted from a dirty telephone, and the B Ark crashed on a planet that eventually came to be known as Earth.

They don't say. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that the plan there doesn't include any storage space. That's just a tiny regular kitchen, no pantry, no storage rooms, etc., so they can't have more than a couple weeks of food in there. No utility room either. The residents are completely dependant on the company for food, water, electricity, and air. You follow the company's rules or they seal you in. If I were building an underground supervillain lair I'd have all the survival supplies securely stored out of reach of the guests, guarded by my loyal henchmen. If I were particularly paranoid and spiteful (like a prepper) I'd probably rig explosives or something to the critical systems, so if the residents ever try to overthrow me I can destroy the water supply and doom us all. Then again, capitalism. They probably won't even bother to put in the equipment and food supply necessary for hundreds of people to actually live in there for years. Why would they?

Looking through those pictures that thing would go down in a week or two to a couple dozen folks who'd raided a home improvement center. Cut the camera feeds, find the air vents, light a couple burning tires in them for a couple days/weeks, collapse or block all the in/out tunnels but 1, and wait there for the richies to swarm out. If it takes longer than expected, light the forest on the mountain above on fire and search again for concealed air vents. There's no way their filtration system can handle an arbitrarily high particulate load for more than a certain amount of time. Better yet light large tire fires adjacent to all air intakes, once the updraft of the fire you build equalizes the downdraft power of the air mover, you cut off their oxygen supply. There's no way to store enough air to outlast an even semi-organized attack. Add some thermal lances on the blast doors and you're golden. Once a party gives up the freedom to maneuver, they're toast. There's no nut so tough that the interior of it can't be rendered uninhabitable.

There is a 1974 commieblock in Zagreb, Croatia that has that kind of apartments - floors 1 and 2 are apartment A, floors 3 and 4 are apartment B - the floors 5-16 are standard single-level apartments which just adds to the confusion, the loving thing is a concrete anthill. Just to prove that we haven't learned anything, there was a whole district of commieblocks with such apartments erected in 1981. Delivering a pizza to people in these things is a harrowing experience because you WILL get lost, and the pizza isn't getting any warmer.

Imagine yourself being the delivery guy, circling around aimlessly in your beat-up Lada through a neighborhood of unmarked blocks, then climbing up several flights of stairs (elevator is too drat slow) and the stairwell leads to nowhere in particular. You're now trapped in a concrete tube and you just know you're gonna get chewed up when you finally make the delivery since the pizza is cold. gently caress I'm never working that job again.
