I think Hal Bidlack already considered that but the power consumption for ground water disposal, air circulation, and assorted electrical stuff rendered it not practical.
... The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.

Humanity has been wiped out. The silence is complete, the air filled with poisonous vapors, everything has turned colorless and dead. Only some radiation-sick cockroaches painfully crawl around ink-black puddles under the threatening sky. What remains of the streets amid the last crumbling buildings is filled with rusting wreckage and decaying horrors… A heavy trapdoor slowly lifts. Bruce emerges, blinks at the disaster. He wears a hawaiian shirt.

Great location for a castle other than the cliff climbing gecko marines.
They are fucking relentless about that goddam insurance thing.

Missile not included.
I was totally going to ask!
But that would indeed be a cool home, in case of apocalypse. Only slight downside I can see is that it might be a direct target for an ICBM, and being underground might not help in that case.

Perfectly served by 3 airports and fast roads. A unique 14th century village house, full of character and original elements, tastefully renovated with original style and materials. Comfortably spacious rooms, high ceilings nearly 5m high, 2 lounges, 3 bathrooms, including 2 en suite. 4 bedrooms. Gallery and 2 workshops on the ground floor, perfect for other galleries or workspaces. Other small spaces, stone staircase, large garage to renovate and roof terrace possible. Dome offering an extraordinary light in the staircase. Terrace and summer dining room/studio. Garden planted with fig trees and water. Garage for 2 cars. A few minutes from the village shops and 2 weekly markets. 40 minutes from Nîmes or Montpellier airports. 90 minutes from Marseille airport. 35 minutes from a Tgv station. 45 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. This house has appeared in several magazines specialized in interiors. The owner is an author on the interiors. A must see to be appreciated. The work was carried out by interior architects and the rooms were designed according to the light. Some large pieces of furniture can be purchased with the house.
Makes you wonder if there will be any modern structures left behind 2000 years from now. I would say probably not. We don't build things out of stone anymore, and concrete crumbles to dust in less than a century without constant repair. Forget anything made of metal or wood. Our legacy will be micro plastics and caffeine.
And the first thing on the agenda tomorrow morning is a meeting with my micro-managing idiot boss. I'll have to show up early just to get that first cup of Earl Grey going. What nonsense! Then I'll have to deal with all the other fucking idiots "who have been doing this a long time" (their one and only job in the business for less than 15 years) and attempt to teach them what they should have learned a decade ago. All because idiot boss wants to report progress back to the COO so he can continue to get that fucking bonus. This is madness. And I've had enough of it.
"First goddamned week of winter."
"I know you gentlemen have been under a great deal of stress lately, but if it's not too much to ask, I do not want to spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!"
Fuck.
You can lead them to knowledge, but you can't make them think.
