Again, we are talking about literal underground living. I shouldn't have to be forced to restate the topic when the context of my post can literally be found 3 posts up from your reply.
You won't have either underground unless you artificially produce it. However, scientists haven't quite figured out how to keep folks the most healthy without the sun. Tanning beds and UV light can cause cancer, and giving vitamin D pills and some light exposure doesn't do the same for mental health.
Engineering is a branch of science unless I am mistaken. So there can be health concerns since not having sunlight is fairly inherent to living underground. Yes, you can have light tubes and so on, but that poses 2 issues.
You don't get the correct UV light since the plastic, glass, or other substrates would block most of that. Open tubes would be a bad idea due to flooding. And from studies of SAD and similar, just adding vitamin D and UV light doesn't seem to fully address it.
If you have tubes or other objects sticking out of the ground when you are trying to be hidden, then that makes it harder to hide.
You will find I'm a big picture thinker, and I deliberately don't spell everything out all the time because I don't want others to disrespect me by telling me what I already know and arrogantly pretending they are "teaching" me anything. So I refuse to coddle or baby others because I don't want to be demeaned that way. I need a chance to be able to fill in my own gaps and learn things myself and don't want others to rob me of such opportunities. So I try to live by the Golden Rule.
No, engineering is in parallel with science.
Engineering uses science to create real things.
I am an engineer who works with scientists.
I don't know why you talk about building underground cities, it sounds even less realistic than those seasteading cunts, who refuse to pay for anything.

These are engineering problems, not science ones.
