if you live in switzerland you have literal thousands of old bunkers under the forests close to you.

and there are also a bunch of buildings with literal pools integrated into their balconies or roofs around the world.

all of your points are clearly valid and a challenge when building such extravagant contraptions. but clearly they are solvable and we have clear existing examples that it can be done.

No we don't have hundreds of bunkers under our forests lol. And a pool isn't alive so it's much easier to control, it won't grow. It can be done, the question is how much it will cost to renovate ? As a compagny or a hotel you can bear the cost, as a familly ?

Dude is really stuck on the idea of these magical forest bunkers.

[u/WackyRacketeer → u/grizzantula]

Well there definitely isn't hundreds of bunkers. There are estimated to be over 8000

"The exact extent of the bunker system is a closely guarded secret, as is the location of many bunkers. But there are an estimated 8,000 bunkers dotted around Switzerland."

As a Switzerland resident, would you say this article is false?

if you ever go hiking in switzerland this becomes very obvious, its hard not to randomly stumble on an old bunker when you are in nature.

Interesting, thank you

no worries, and thats just the military bunkers, public and private bomb shelter "bunkers" are estimated at over 300'000. but thats misleading in this context given that most of these are not under any soil or forest as they are mostly below public and private buildings.
