Gravity from below is dangerous enough without adding it from above.

People visited Atlanta Underground. The dream ended abruptly.

and other safe spaces.

So they can hold college classes in the underground city?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Environmental impact studies, NIMBY, white privilege, etc...

dead and buried.

Who wants to live in an underground city ?

This is what happens to you...

Like so many central planning dreams, what happened to underground cities is human nature. People like fresh air outdoors more than indoor air cleaned by a machine, even if there is pollen outside. People like sunshine more than they like overhead lights, even if there are clouds in the open. People are human, and they like the real world rather than a planned and controlled environment.

Haven’t there been reports for years about a great Continuity of Government underground cities and highways? IIRC in various places the hum of the tunneling machine has upset the locals.

I remember Superman in the 50s had some dealings with mole men from deep underground.

They really weren’t bad once you got to know them.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Because people like living above ground.

We are, by nature, surface dwellers who need the sun to function properly.

[disndat]

[Secret Agent Man]

Russia has many.

All of our many less are only for military and politicians.

[DakotaGator]

Why didn't it stick?

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.

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

[LongWayHome]

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

[Donglalinger]

Too many Mole Men

[Bubba_Leroy]

[chajin]

What happened? People just don’t dig it.

[Heart-Rest]

Don't be so hasty to leap to unwarranted, unsupported conclusions!   Have you never heard of these dismal creatures, the denizons of the "democratic underground", who live
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?
