Are you sure? The second doom boom is here, and people are buying bunkers again.
The difference between bunkers and water is not just the cost, but the probability of needing one—there are many non-nuclear-war cases for wanting water on hand. So water has a higher probability of being useful, and a lower cost.

Desire to have a bunker would be more universal at that time. I think the customer pool has become much narrower and maniac these days. For example, the government considering building shelters is absurd this time, but they did in the past. On the other hand, the fallout shelters are one of historical features in the 50s-60s.

Sorry, I tried to mean when we were in the cold war era, specific to the nuclear disaster. I just wanted to ask what will happen when we need to prep expensive_but_must items. What if water is so expensive already?
I don’t think I understand the question. If something is expensive but will definitely (let’s say with 99% certainty) save my life (which I think is the sort of thing you are describing as expensive_but_must), I would buy it at almost any cost.
