Iceberg Homes: Luxury or Liability?

Effort: 10 minutesImagine a mansion where most of the space lies not above ground, but deep below! Known as "iceberg homes," these properties are designed with a small, modest structure above ground and several expansive floors underground. Picture a basement that’s not just for storage but features luxurious amenities like pools, gyms, and even movie theaters. Iceberg homes have become popular in places like London, where celebrities and athletes – including American football player Travis Kelce – are snapping them up. While they offer privacy and more space, iceberg homes come with their share of controversy. Because so much of the property lies underground, it affects the surrounding environment in surprising ways. Flooding can be a major issue, as rainwater has nowhere to drain. Construction for these homes often causes noise pollution and traffic disruption, too. These homes can also be energy-intensive, raising questions about their impact on the environment. Is the extravagance worth the cost to local ecosystems and community resources? Your Task: Imagine you’re a concerned citizen in a neighborhood where iceberg homes might soon be built. Write a persuasive letter to your local congressperson with your thoughts on whether these homes should be allowed in your community. Explain why you think they should or shouldn’t be permitted, and provide suggestions for restrictions if they are allowed. Should builders pay extra fees to cover environmental impacts? Should there be rules to reduce construction noise and manage water drainage? Be specific about the issues and your proposed solutions. More
