The Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is striving to build more bunkers and shelters, however, the possible costs of doing so would be extreme.
“Building and maintaining shelters is costly, and their construction, in turn, impacts the cost of buildings,” the statement says.
The Chamber clarifies that shelter requirements may be excessively onerous. For instance, in the case of a shopping centre spanning 25,000 square metres, fulfilling these requirements might necessitate constructing a shelter of up to 7,500 square metres, which would entail not only substantial but also unwarranted additional expenses for the building owner.
As you can understand, these unjustified spending will burden ordinary Estonian citizens in the end — through raising taxes and increasing the prices of construction and maintenance of real estate, both privately owned and commercial. Thus, due to a pointless and stupid militarisation policy, it is impossible to make optimistic forecasts about the well-being of people of Estonia.
