RÉSO, La Ville Souterraine. Montreal's Underground City.

The rediscovery of an ancient underground city in Turkey a few years ago was an exciting find—the very kind of exciting find that the internet eats up.
The 5,000-year-old cave villa, found in the city of Nevşehir, is fairly huge, with approximately 3.5 miles of tunnels, and dozens of rooms making up churches, tombs, and other safe spaces.
In comments to National Geographic, Nevşehir Mayor Hasan Ünver noted that there was a bit of a paper trail that went back hundreds of years, but not one that implied that there was an entire city in the area.
"We found documents stating that there were close to 30 major water tunnels in this region," Ünver said.
It's not the first ancient underground city found in Turkey's Cappadocia region—people have been finding them since the 60s—but it's the largest, by far.
These days, urban dwellers think nothing of traveling under the surface as part of their average day. We'll dive into the metro or subway system without thinking anything about it.
But would you spend your entire day there, without walking outside? That sounds like an odd argument to make, but there was a period in which underground cities were seen as a bold, exciting solution to the problems that troubled the metropolis in the 1960s.
It was the revival of a concept that goes back thousands of years. Why didn't it stick?(continued)

I love Night Stalker.
Simon Oakland was great as his editor/boss, Tony Vincenzo.
Russia has many.
All of our many less are only for military and politicians.
Way too cute to be moochelle. Besides, if it were her, her butt would take up the rest of the pic.
Oh, I don't know. How about the very real need for sunlight, fresh air, and space?!
One can exist in confinement, but usually must be driven to it.
Bkmk
Does one want to be an Eloi or a Morlock?
“The Mole People.” Fun movie. Actually, there is a lot of old underground stuff here in Cleveland!

When possible, every house should have a full basement. Preferably on a hill such as to avoid flooding during a severe rain. Good for storage and a pool table and a man cave and a music practice room.
Maybe in this case the Eloi were the Morlocks, escaping the Mohammadan Turk invaders.

Montreal has an underground city of sorts....ties in with their transit system. Pretty cool. I’ve been through it several times.

Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia, 846 km (526 mi) north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. According to the 2011 census, its population was 1,695 (953 males, 742 females, including 275 indigenous Australians).[1] The town is sometimes referred to as the “opal capital of the world” because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called “dugouts”, which are built in this fashion due to the scorching daytime heat....

Interesting town. The underground housing is actually pretty nice. I was in a place that even had an in ground, indoor pool off the living room.

LMAO!
Crystal City is pretty much underground

I agree and would remain above and beyond the periphery of such an unstable situation.
