I would 100% do something like this.
I don’t have enough money to buy the land to make it happen.
I was supposed to go to toshi station uncle Lars !
This is the reason I don’t think climate change will be what kills humans off. We’re pretty resilient, and could just start building underground cities.
I think it’ll be microplastics that do it
Water security is a real issue though. Coober Pedy relies on water being trucked in from the coast which is only viable there because of the wealth extraction from the opal trade.
In many outback towns there are legitimate questions around long-term viability due to increasing water scarcity. I agree that humans are resilient and resourceful, but there is much more to existing under a warming climate than escaping the midday sun.
As novel and interesting as this place is, it really shouldn’t exist. It is just there for people trying to get rich mining opals and, by all accounts, is a really bleak and depressing place. Sorry for being a downer!
