Turning abandoned missile silos into post apocalyptic dream homes for the uber wealthy.

There are now real estate speculators who are selling "underground homes" for the very wealthy...who are snapping them up, all over the globe.

The homes are furnished like any other ultra big buck mansion.

another site:
http://www.silohome.com/

So, that is the 1% game plan....while we are starving from climate disaster food shortages and lack of water and maybe dying of a plague,
THEY will be all cozy in their underground homes with marble floors and years worth of foods.

Altho...there ARE television and radio hookups, but I am wondering who will be broadcasting....and what?

Shouldn't be too difficult to locate some of these silos, tho, and dump 10 feet of cement on top of them....

In the first story, the guy is selling the right to be in the built bunker home..so a 4 bed bunker would be sold to 4 people,
etc.
Looking at his history in the article, and knowing the lack of scruples all over, today,
I can just imagine him doing a Madoff, selling to a LOT of people, who all show up on Dooms Day with key in hand.

Hell, they sell gold certificates that way even now.
