Gravity from below is dangerous enough without adding it from above.

Like so many central planning dreams, what happened to underground cities is human nature. People like fresh air outdoors more than indoor air cleaned by a machine, even if there is pollen outside. People like sunshine more than they like overhead lights, even if there are clouds in the open. People are human, and they like the real world rather than a planned and controlled environment.

Haven’t there been reports for years about a great Continuity of Government underground cities and highways? IIRC in various places the hum of the tunneling machine has upset the locals.

I remember Superman in the 50s had some dealings with mole men from deep underground.
They really weren’t bad once you got to know them.

Because people like living above ground.
We are, by nature, surface dwellers who need the sun to function properly.

With all the “people” crawling out from under their respective rocks lately and being given special treatment, crawling under one sounds more appealing by the day.

Karl Kolchak had a run-in with a baddie in the Seattle underground played by Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman).

Kolchak was a great show.
I can picture him with that little 110 camera.
