Apocalypse housing

I'm hopeing that no world ending event happens this December. I'm sure most share that hope. What if ... That's a powerful thing, what if. My favorite two words together.

This post is a hopeful post about what if the apocalypse doesn't happen on dec 21 this year.  There have been a few developers who bought into that whole domesday mindset and built community shelters, some of which are wonderful in design. The missile silos that have been redesigned to house many families intrigued me.  The world is running out of land with so many people on it. Perhapse these developers will be the city and town builders of the future. If new towns were build into the ground or even above ground in a cilendrical form it would free up farming land around it.

Instead of spreading out over the face of the land, preserve the land and confine city's to skyscrapers or combinations of underground habitats and above ground domes.  Farferched maybe, but I'm a dreamer.
