Underground houses are my greatest passion. My biggest goal in life is to eventually live in one (or, better yet, to live in an entirely hidden neighborhood).

Treehouses are pretty well hidden as well, though they aren't nearly as self-sufficient or protected:

Those are cool.. but what I really want is something a bit deeper... like these:

The sheer vertical depth of those missile bases is impressive. In most places, you couldn't drill that deep without hitting the water table. They're really nice.

They're also quite expensive and rare. And probably impractical for your average homeowner.

I really want to see the majority of people living in affordable underground homes. They're nice because, if built deep enough, they don't require heating or air conditioning, and that means they're considerably cheaper to maintain. And, of course, they're much more hidden and secure--they're safer from falling trees, storms, break-ins, fires, and all sorts of mishaps. The downfall is that there is a greater exposure to radon gas and there can be moisture problems if they are not built very well--which is why most underground houses and facilities are out west.

I really like the idea of walking around an area that looks isolated from mankind, while in actuality it's densely populated.
