Now the wealthy are snapping up $1.5 million "doomsday condos" like they were M & M's.

Those look a little nicer than the bunkers in the other thread. But so much wasted money of fixtures that could have been put toward survival supplies, food, water, etc

BacP I agree. Not sure I'd want to survie if it got that bad. Of course if the shtf I'd pobably be runnign over people to get in one.

My bunker is a lot bigger than these condos and I'd sell if for 1/2 the price.

For 1.5 I think I could do better. I wonder if these buyers know anything about prepping or if they just throw cash at any problem and trust the builder to know what he is doing.

I'm betting on your scenario. They throw money at everything. Don't matter if they have any understanding or not.

Car I miss seeing you here what forum or whatever you hiding out in?

OK, a selfless plug for my bunker if anyone may be interested (or at least see the pictures of it).

They started hawking these things before the Mayan Apocalypse. There was a Doomsday (fill in the blank) TV show on every night. I always thought these people had more money than good sense. The locations are always a well guarded secret, but every indication is they are in the middle of nowhere. I would really like to see the plan for how they intend to get there if SHTF. Do they think they are going to get beamed aboard? I guess if it is TEOTWAWKI all the money in the world won't do you any good, so you might as well have a place.

IMHO these are nothing more than underground apartment buildings. I would love to see the psychological studies about people living together in close proximity. Now let's factor in NEVER being able to get away from each other. If you want to bet the over/under on when someone will get murdered I'm taking the under.

I was wondering if you still had that. Maybe you need to add a pool table and a hot tub, then you could sell it to some Hollyweirdo.

Thats neat Zoom, and under $1000.
I thought of digging a shelter here but then with all the sink holes eating up whole houses had second thoughts.
I'll just stick with Chennys plastic sheeting idea .maybe wrap up in some,lol.

Good point Morgan.

They'll do what the wealthy have always done...throw money at the problem until the problem goes away. Don't know how to do something? Hire someone who does know how to do it and let them worry about it. Not really a bad idea, providing you have the money to do that, instead of learning how to do it yourself. I, personally, would rather learn how to do it myself...SHTF and you just might not be able to hire someone (or want to, for that matter).

No bunker has been made that can't be brought down. I like the idea of being able to get away if I have to.
I have a home and another home to retreat to. There are less expensive graves than a multi-million dollar bunker.
No place to grow and raise food sounds like a dead end to me. If they have to supply their own power how long will their fuel last?

Strikes me as being another one of those "looks good on paper, but doesn't work out for practical purposes" things. Fuel, food, being the two main issues.

I can hardly believe you still own that place.

the gardener will probably demand to be treated as a equal seeing how their services would be greater then the wealthy's..

 

[SheepDog]

In that situation the gardener would be the king. Like in life in general, you don't get the doctor or your mechanic mad at you. There are too many ways they can make your life hell.
