Hobbits walking past the hobbit hole in the pic like motherfuckin gentrification buildings brah, this rent is already too high, I gotta use my gun more

A city near where I lived had an underground house that looked like this. It was the “house of the future” because of reasons I don’t remember. I passed by it a few years ago, and it looked empty, overgrown and run down.

I empathize with the feeling of living a simpler, happier life, but living like a hobbit would suck for a lot of us.

Indoor plumbing, sewage, electricity and internet, are all way more important to the kind of people who are on this site than they might expect. In addition to that, if you’ve never lived in the countryside, rural living and basic peasant subsistence farming is fucking awful. You are constantly working maintenance and rebuilding damaged property. You’re always dirty, smelly, and tired.
