    There’s one just like that near where I grew up and now that I’m older I want to ask them about heating/cooling, because it’s got to be so much cheaper than a regular house.

    I doubt they would get away with “almost zero” though since it’s basically buried with a small hill rather than dug down or cut into stonea cliff.

    I imagine maintaining it can be a bitch though.

      There was a similar domicile in my area back in the 80s that collapsed due to heavy rains. The occupant was sleeping on the sofa and died.
