My concern about those is that they are one earthquake away from 1) losing all value, and 2) killing the occupants. Then again, I'm sure they factor that into their plans when they build them.

Most of them aren't built 100% underground, it's more a matter that they're built into the side of a hill or some such (and have the top covered over).

And, to avoid a very long discussion about earthquakes (and the actual risk), I'll simply note that they handle at least some other natural disasters (like tornadoes) better than conventional homes.
