In 1977 a beautiful, 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom earth-sheltered (cave)
house was self-built for $15,000, which costs only $1.29 a year to heat! That's
$12.50 per square foot of living area. Adjusting for inflation gives $50/sq ft.
Still half or less than the average $100/sq ft cost of "conventional"
upholstered above-ground caves.

If you had ever been in one you'd not be making snarky comments about "living
like a mole."

Why not, if Dorothy managed it .........
