I hated living like a mole underground. The musty smell, lack of energy giving sunlight, claustrophobic cocoon and no windows to let the fresh air in was depressing. And don’t even think of doing Asian wok cooking! Even with the best ventilation and artificial lighting, nothing beats looking at the sky.


After awhile the night feel like day, and everything seemed dulled. Not for me.

The core Singaporeans may be fleeting somewhere. So sad…

Shopping is ok cos' you don't not sleep in there, eat in there. At most, you are only there for a few hours. A home underground...imagine the electricity bill - lights turn on all day and all night, air-con...living with underground cables --- any side effects in the long run?


Where did you get the info that Sg has plans to build underground homes?

It was in the Straits Times 16 April 2013 Page 28/29 Home Section.

\"You can build up, but there is a limit, because we have airports. You can reclaim, but there is also a limit, as you need to keep fairways and anchorages for your port,\" BCA chief executive John Keung has said. He added: \"The only thing left is to go underground.\"

I think there must be a limit. It is like having buffet. So much good food but there is a limit to how much your stomach can take it. You can't eat everything on a buffet spread.

No sunlight. Inside dark, dark

Electric bill should not be an issue as they can tap solar power from above ground and use LED lights.

I think it's more likely that our HDB flats will reach even higher heights than for us to move undergound.

I think so too.

Last week, there is an article on the soil/rock conditions in Sg. Should be easy and cheaper to go up than to go down.

I think it’s perfectly fine … just cannot imagine what will happen if there’s a power outage or aircon breakdown.
