8 Jun
Summary

- A shooting incident involved a resident and a contractor.
- Tenants sued Vivos for uncompleted amenities and poor maintenance.

A prepper community designed as an escape from catastrophe is now dealing with common neighborhood disputes. Vivos xPoint, a bunker complex in South Dakota, marketed as a high-end refuge, is facing resident conflicts. Issues include septic system failures and residents allowing dogs off-leash. These problems have escalated into serious arguments.
One resident fired a weapon, wounding a contractor who had arrived with machinery. Due to South Dakota's stand-your-ground law, the resident was not indicted by a grand jury. More than 100 tenants have filed a lawsuit against Vivos, claiming the bunkers are not maintained and promised amenities remain unfinished.
