I mean a flak tower could be pretty badass to live in. If shit ever hit the fan you'd already be fortified. It would probably look good to an insurer too.

I think I had seen this on lemmy first, that they turned one of the flak towers into a hotel.

Buy me a flak tower in Berlin daddy. Rescue me... and my wife and cats.

only if it comes with the original flak guns and a good supply of ammo.

Need something to keep those damn kids off my grass.

So listen, those flak guns don't aim below the horizon, so you're going to need to modify those. Don't want you going in blind. Like as blind as you would quickly be shooting flak at close range.

Its not about being effective.

its about sending a message.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when an insurer has to come up with a policy for a veritable fortress with 11ft thick reinforced concrete walls.

I would love to be the local concrete supplier because it would be north of $5.8m in just concrete.
