Planning for the zombie apocalypse? Buy this house - Polidicks

[url]http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/108875/is-this-the-safest-house-in-the-world[/url] [QUOTE] One residence, located high in the hills above Los Angeles, goes several steps further than a simple but effective panic room. The lavish and luxurious appointments of the sky-high mansion discreetly hide and disguise a security system so tight that it just may be the safest house in the world When not aiding the defense and security of its occupants, the fortress-like home functions like any other well-appointed mansion with deluxe creature comforts such as an elevator for whisking folks from the garage level to the living levels, a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops and commercial grade appliances, two offices, a wine cellar and a home theater. The home's real luxury is, of course, the ensured safety of its inhabitants. Should an intruder manage to breach the extensive exterior security measures that include comprehensive surveillance abilities, there are two hidden panic rooms and two architecturally invisible "safe cores." The safe cores consist of entire sections of the residence that can be isolated from the rest of the home and where the homeowner can retreat in complete safety -- not to mention luxury -- from an outside threat that might include an intruder, a natural disaster or even a nuclear, biological or chemical attack.

$7.25 million. That's the price to pay for the protection of everything you hold dear from turning into a walking corpse.

Who owns it? Bin Laden?

[B]I want that house.[/B]

Its a nice house, but who the fuck is that paranoid.

I've found simpler yet better, and cheaper in more gun friendly states. Suppose the grid fails how you gonna keep that place lit up? Solar power sure as shit ain't gonna keep up with the power demands that thing will have.

Needs more sentries and nuke silos.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;20386442]If I was a multimillionaire I would do that just for the hell of it.[/QUOTE] As a hidden feature i would have the safe rooms and modular rooms have rocket boosters on them so when you enter the rooms they lock down and launch you in to space away from the intruder and burning anything left on the compound.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;20386442]If I was a multimillionaire I would do that just for the hell of it.[/QUOTE] Me too. It'd be like playing the Sims irl.

7.25 million? I'd rather take my chances with zombies, thanks.

Wouldn't concrete walls and large metal doors be better?

[QUOTE=MR-X;20387916]As a hidden feature i would have the safe rooms and modular rooms have rocket boosters on them so when you enter the rooms they lock down and launch you in to space away from the intruder and burning anything left on the compound.[/QUOTE] o yes, that's logical, because you probably have enough supplies in your rocket to last about a week max in space.

[QUOTE=millrock;20388012]o yes, that's logical, because you probably have enough supplies in your rocket to last about a week max in space.[/QUOTE] It's call a joke smart one. Who says you would stay in space? You might get pulled down by earths gravity and re-enter the atmosphere.

[QUOTE=MR-X;20388176]It's call a joke smart one. Who says you would stay in space?

No biological or chemical attacks go away after one week. Oh, and btw, this whole thread is full of jokes. Relax, it's an online forum. Don't take it too seriously.

The problem with a fortress house in the middle of the city is keeping food supply at hand. Sooner or later you'll run out and then what are you gonna do? Out in the country, food is a little easier to come by.

Does he have a generator and a stock pile of food in the basement?

Seriously buy that house plus a replica Batmobile plus rename yourself to Bruce Wayne and consider yourself a legend!

There is a chapter in the book World War Z, in which a movie star, custom builds a house, that was designed to be a fortress against zombies, complete with hired contractors, and food supplies to last for years. What the movie star did not count on, was thousands of hungry civilians over-running that place, in search for safety and food.

[quote]This means they're not going to tell this writer or anyone else but the next owner that the property is equipped with semi-automatic weaponry that can be remotely controlled from the panic room(s). It may not be, but then again, maybe it is.[/quote] Holy fuck. :aaaaa:

Now that's a house for the people who has [B]ninja-phobia[/B].

What is sad is that if I owned that house I would put my computer in the core and never leave. It would still be awesome though.

The one flaw with that house is that it's apparently at the top of a hill, very visible for miles around from below(at least in that picture it is). Every zombie for miles will see the slightest flicker of light or fire through those huge windows. Any Road Warrior type survivors will see it as well. Windows which by the way will warm that house up during most of sunny So Cal's generally warm temps. You'll be sweating without air conditioning, which is too big a power drain for a house that size to run off a generator. I'd want the exact opposite: a fortified house in a low point, surrounded by high ground. This way I could do whatever I want whenever I want and no one outside the surrounding high points would see it.
