    Just this year he lost a bid to build a new property which was to be built into a remote hillside alongside Lake Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island.

    So no. No bunkers. Didn’t get approval and would be a pretty easy to find if someone gets approval for a bunker somewhere.

    Those two articles. Both articles and not much more than speculation.

    One article actually hints at it. However it doesn’t change the facts. NZ is a Yellowstone waiting to happen. Bunker or not the island is toasts.

    Also there’s a reason NZ doesn’t have skyscrapers an d concrete buildings. The amount of earthquakes would make building a bunker pretty dam near impossible.

    Deeper you dig to hide from calamity above you. Closer you get to calamity below you.

      What’s your definition of a skyscraper? We have a load of buildings over 150m high, 40+ stories.

      We have fancy earthquake tech for our tall buildings, like counterweights.

      We’re the same as Japan, we’re both on the “ring of fire”, basically little scabs of islands where continents rub against each other.

      Japan has loads of tall buildings. And concrete ones too.

      “the island is toasts” lol.
