That is not a fortress, it’s a death trap.

Yeah, all those unprotected windows will surely keep all the food rioters out.

Yep, and a lot of space to keep warm in the winter.

Interesting little side note about the Park City area. It was originally settled by Mormon pioneers but the climate was unsuitable for farming due to an ultrashort growing season.
They knew there was silver in the area, but had no idea as to how much and Brigham Young didn't want a society of miners with all that entailed, single men, loose morals and massive wealth.
So the mineral rights were sold for much less than their true value to William Randolph Hearst who proceeded to build a massive fortune. As the silver was depleted in the late 1940s, massive tunnels remained. Some of them were converted to water pipes to move the massive melting snowfalls to the dry (18" average rainfall) Utah Valley downhill. It was then sparely populated, but became fruit orchards for the next 40 years or so before converting to a little Silicone Valley of sorts with the young population and cheap well educated labour.
Other tunnels were enlarged and converted into ski lifts as the Park City area became a world class ski resort and haven for the ultrarich fleeing Californistan. Untold other tunnels remain and are probably beneath some of these multimillion dollar mansions by design.

If you're referring to the AD 70 destruction of Jerusalem by General (later to be, emperor) Titus, in the end, he won.
And he destroyed Jerusalem, along with all of the genealogical records and the temple.
Thus it will be with any such "bunkers" if the survivalist's dreams come true. Any such bunker will be descended upon by endless numbers of kamikaze survivors.
Unless the bunker is on an island, somewhere, that has yet to be mapped?

Actually, I was referring to the defense of Jerusalem against the Muslims forces of Saladin as portrayed in the Ridley Scott film “Kingdom of Heaven”.

Boiling oil is the ticket! Once you douse them, you can drop a torch in it, and set them on fire, too!

Darned nice place, but if he can’t defend scumbags coming thru all that glass, he doesn’t own it. Plus, it’ll cost $1-2 million to furnish it.

Fortresses are not made of all-glass walls on four sides. The turret is simply an architectural extension for an isolated wrap-around feel of the surrounding woods.
And yes, real estate prices in UT are ascending into the stratosphere. It’s like a daily paycheck if you own a home debt free.
