all their mad, miserable lives in the midst of the dank sewers and the dung-drenched muck of the party of B-O and Hillary Rotten, in the dark, evil underworld of the big cities?

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)

What happened? People just don’t dig it.
Who says there is not? Look at the Denver Airport project.
That creature looks like one of those “decent”, “honorable”, Islamic raping-refugees.

Hey now, hey now, don’t dream — it’s over. ;’)
If the movie “The Time Machine” didn’t scare it out of everyone, the (original series) Star Trek episode “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” should have. ;’)
Wow, I just read the original -- besides calling the NY Slimes "our greatest newspaper" and using the phrase "most unique", he didn't mention the downtown success story of Minneapolis, with its habitrail system for getting around -- a city now dominated by Somalians and other lawless muzzie riffraff.
They don’t have any real way of figuring age for Derinkuyu. My own guess would be that it was meant as a shelter from the last ice age. It would be worth less than nothing as a shelter from Huns or Mongols or anything like that, somebody like Subudai would just pour maptha down the air vents and light a match....
CHUD - Great action film comedy from the 80’s!
I always saw underground cities as dystopic.
Probably because of the way the idea was depicted in cold war Era science fiction.
At any rate, the Russians have been reported to be engaged in building Thousands of underground bomb shelters, and expanding underground city dwellings for some time now.
Russia is expecting to go to war with us.
Just look at their modernization of ICBM (Satan II 12 MIRV country killer) subs, jets and ships.

That was one of the weirdest, funniest eps, ever.

At first, I thought he ran off with Ruk’s junk.
