To think H.G. Wells predicted this.
Hard pass.
this is a dream come true, hopefully during my lifetime. humans need to do the Thanos-thing and cut population down to half then move themselves underground and give the surface back to nature and animals. how wonderful that would be, seeing it all happen from my little house above ground.
Its okay, people are already dwarf-maxing
Who is going to build it? This snowflake generation? Dream on!
So its gonna be 99% that will live under earth, then the 1% will have the surfes for themself🤫
Dude, I'd live underground NP. Bunker life my guy! If your familiar with tech and maintenance of it, you can turn your underground apartment into a near disaster proof bunker.
This makes too much sense for modern society.
Underground cities/homes would stay cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, last longer, be more disaster proof, allow more room for wildlife and farming and more than likely be built out of materies that last centuries.
How about painting the streets grey so it would Lower the temperature by there degrees in the city and if we do parking lots the same we could slow down global warming quick by doing this on all blacktop and reflect about 35 percent of heat back up instead of getting hot think about it won't you
What you gonna do in a earthquake especially a large earthquake?
UNDERSCORE
What about oxygen?
54 hours per year is less than 14 minutes a work day (5 days per week, 48 weeks per year). People waste far more time stuffing their faces in their smart phones.
I don't think the crab people would be cool with this.
Ah so this is how hive cities start
In Norway there are TONS of abandoned yet livable houses in the countryside, and we also have free healthcare. Just saying 😆🫶🏼
Bummer.
Hello from northern Wisconsin. I spend 0 hours a year stuck in traffic.
underscore
Because the reptiloids decided to move to the surface.
You look so handsome without your mustache O.o
I'm so glad I live in the center of West Virginia, in the mountains. It will likely take my lifetime and beyond before there's a city even close by. It's a hard life sometimes, being so far from everything, but a blessing at the same time.
Was glad to see you mention Montreal's Reso, it's a very good example indeed, even though as you said, is mostly a world of shopping malls. However, the metro transit system, as one would expect, is also interconnected with the Reso, and many residential and commercial buildings are also attached to it, so technically, one can live, commute, work, and shop throughout the city without needed a coat, a car, or ever going outside during those brutal winter months if one chose not to. And even while Montreal is beautiful in the summer, it gets incredibly hot and humid, with temperatures reaching 30°c, so the Reso is actually really appreciated all year round. 🇨🇦
Going under ground is the future, well join our lizard people cousins hopefully soon
Sky scrapers are wonderful targets for people with a towel on their heads.
And let's be honest, a lot of people deserve to go underground right now
Just kill the half of the earth population and You don't need to worry about stuff like that
the UN also wants to make f ing kids legal so i dont listen to what they say anymore
the same ppl that cry over fracking would love this idea!
building downwards instead of up is a terrible idea for obvious reasons.
The solution is to build pyramids apartment bocks.
this way you solve the problem of blocking light.
also it looks awesome.
Right now our volcano is rattling our doors and windows here in Mexico City. They might dig down and find a lava floe running right through the space they want to build it!
I just did the math if traffic is good it takes me 91 hours a year
That’s a lot of elevators
Mexico city is built on a drained lake near a volcano. What could go wrong
He’s good looking!.!.
80% of Americans already live in cities. ✌🏼
Where does all the dirt go? That seems like a major hurdle.
Heeeey! 42 here! <3
Way too much could go wrong. You'd never catch me living in that death trap. This isn't an engineering video, so I get why you only glossed over "solutions" for some major threats. For example, using a pool as a reason that would work for walls underground is laughably simplistic. Soil types would play a major factor in whether or not this is possible, as well as sea level (try this in Florida and see what happens). I've been in civil engineering for 25 years and groundwater would be a bigger problem than you think, likely requiring regular maintenance. It could be done at shallow levels, but 300m deep? No. Here's the real chink in the armor: Architects are fruity. Most architects only care about what's pretty, creative, artistic, etc. They're not typically logical or rationale from a constructible and sustainable perspective. Structural and civil engineers would be the ones to come up with actual solutions. Unrealistic logistics aside, sure would be an easy target for terrorism or war. One simple bomb and you bury an entire city alive. Fuck that.
this is some gurren lagann shid dude
u n d e r s c o r e
I have been saying we need to do this for most of my life…if for no other reason, I would love to live in a burrow like a Hobbit 😉
Earthscrapers, as cool as the name and concept sounds, have some VERY big problems, namely that you'd be living under the fucking ground for your entire life, and the way these things can be conceptualized you could have people going days or weeks without any sunlight, since they could simply work there, the children could go to school there, you could meet your friends there, etc.
I highly doubt this is the future we want … it reminds me of a visit to Edinburgh once, where I pitied the people living on the lowest floor of those old buildings below street level … no, thanks.
Can’t believe I didn’t watch a full thoughty2 video.Stopped cos this idea is completely ridiculous.
Who da fck wants to live like a mole all their lives ?
