Wow, what a fascinating overview of hobbit homes! I love how you've highlighted both the advantages and the unique features that make them so appealing. The idea of living in a cozy, nature-integrated space is truly enchanting, especially for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

I completely agree that the natural insulation provided by the surrounding soil would make for a comfortable living environment year-round. Plus, the ability to expand the home as needed is such a practical feature! It’s amazing to think about how these homes can be both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.

I also appreciate your point about the challenges of securing a mortgage for such a unique structure. It would be interesting to see how the housing market adapts to accommodate these innovative designs in the future.
