Why don't people build down more?
Much of sprawl and modernism could be solved if more underground stuff was built. Plus its cyberpunk as fuck
Pic related, proposed Mexican superproject with Aztec heritage themes
you know how basements flood some times?

Will they practice human sacrifices at the bottom?
Why don't they build the same thing but upwards?
the heat management would be a fucking nightmare.

This so much, you realize Mexico City is literally built on a lake right? That thing is asking for disaster and that little rain pool at the bottom would be heck of a lot bigger.
>>52910670
Because it is harder to build. The deeper you go the harder it gets. Also floods and shit.
I agree that it would solve the "sprawl and modernism", but it would be an expensive solution.

Time for nuke digging, I guess
>>52910803
Yeah, that thing might be hard to keep cool.

I wish someplace would build something like this out of an old quarry, just for the novelty.

This death trap would do it for them.
We have pretty much a whole town built underground

>The name "Coober Pedy" comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means "white man's hole".
Underground shopping centers are also pretty common
>>52910670
that's a big hole

You think earthquakes are a danger to high surface buildings? Just wait for a big one near that bulding, imagine a wallnut between to hammers, the warth shifts and it will snap those walls like glass, also flooding,heating would be expensive and a nightmare and no one likes to live with mole people

because the depths belong to the morlocks

True. But to be fair, Helsinki and Montreal have done a great job of underground expansion. Newer technology, lots of power and redundant backups for pumps and heat/air conditioning should work those kinks out
>>52911430
True true, Mexico does have sizeable earthquakes so they'd obviously have to have some high tech engineering to counter that. As for mole people, it appears as though this would probably have some pretty high rent (downtown, new buildings) so it would probably be upper-class Mexicans there. It's right under the main city plaza
Also they're proposing rebuilding the Sun pyramids underground, you can see it on the first level to the sides

2000 people doesn't really count as a town, though. More like... small village.
>underground
I've only been 500 meters below the surface (mine) and shit is spooky as hell
>>52911230
I'll always have respect for people like you, you know
>>52911575
that would make 4√U, you quadruple nègre.

There was a Dirty Jobs episode here and it looked like hell on earth
The host said the horrid flies were the worst thing

Most of the world's opals are mined in this region, so there's fucktons of money to be made.
Also, anywhere remotely outside of an urban area has heaps of flies.
I dunno guys, we have rocks/mountains that people hollowed out literally thousands of years ago and they're still here just like they were left
