I think the guy is a bit paranoid perhaps.
Just a bit though.

I think the realtors are right on when they suggested that it would make a great day care centre.

I've always thought it would be fun to do something like that, except I wouldn't go overboard on the bomb shelter part of it. I'm not paranoid of such things. But have large amounts of secret space would be lots of fun.

Reminds me of when the CFB Penhold went up for sale. It was a huge bomb shelter built in the 50's for the government. Had a pool, bowling alley the whole bit. Selling for 1 million.
A dude bought it. Then was about to turn around and sell it to the Hells Angels for 1.5.
The government bought it back for 2 million. Your tax dollars at work.
Wonder if the same thing might happen here...

When I was in the military, I spend time in both the penhold bomb shelter and the one thats was deep under a college. The Penhold one was pretty comfortable, the other one wasn't as good, but at least it had donkey kong.
After spending three days down there, you lost all concept of time, and it completely zonked your sleep cycle.

I wonder how many crops it'll take to the new bikers to pay off the $575 000 price tag?

I lived in Blaine Washington for 6 months way back in the day. I don't know if I would want to live there again, but it really is a great town. Great location to many things like mountains (better than banff imo), ocean, lakes, Vancouver, seattle, etc.

It was all hand dug over a 20 year period, and all the walls were constructed with a small electric hand cement mixer.
That sounds safe...

Oh man, make it your own personal bat cave!
That is all kinds of awesome - I wonder if it's possible to rig one of the secret entrances up to a piano like in Batman Begins???

Every guy wants one...not every guy is deluded enough to actually do it.
The pictures disappointed me...they reminded me of something actually functional, not the fantastical type of thing you'd imagine when you think of your own personal bomb shelter (I'd imagine something like they showed in that stupid movie with Bendan Fraser...can't recall the name of it).
IMO, it's not a truly perfect shelter unless it can be totally cut off from the rest of the world for the rest of my life and still support me. I suspect that'd be expensive.

Bummer if they are on holidays on the eastern seaboard when the nukes are sent!
Reminds me of the cold war days when Russia and the US were evil enemies.
