>Floods easilyBuild on a hill retard, (more specifically make sure your hill isn't on a flood plain)
>Cracks during earthquakesNot if it's built from lumber instead of concrete blocks, that said I would want to make double sure of the sturdiness of a hobbit hole if you live somewhere with earthquakes.
>Difficult and expensive repairsI suppose I can't put a smug one sentence counter to this one since it's entirely too subjective based on the design of your hole in the ground. The one I've been planning out for a while is specifically made with ease of maintenance in mind, but I imagine most people who decide to live in a hole don't have any education in architecture so I have an advantage on that front.
>MoldBuild on a hill retard.

>Depreciating home valueoh no the hole in the ground I dug to not have to buy a home is losing value ??? real big thinking emoji
>Pest problemsHow would an underground house have any worse pest problems than a normal one?
>People will invade your privacyu fuckin wot m8 a well made hole house would be almost invisible unless you knew where to look
I only looked at your picture and didn't read the article but that almost certainly seems to be about building a traditional drywall square house directly into the earth on your current property instead of properly surveying and finding a suitable place to dig a house designed to be built underground.
