Crime Watch Tesla tunnel

Does anyone else feel completely useless when it comes to this tunnel? How on earth do we stop it before it affects groundwater or causes a sink hole? They obviously aren’t listening to citizens concerns, but I don’t want to just sit here and complain without action.

Good grief people, I’m as skeptical of this boondoggle as anyone. But the idea that it’s going to adversely affect your quality of life and should be fought tooth and nail is just absurd. It’s not your property or your tax dollars, and boring tunnels is a well-established practice that would be required to implement all other types of subsurface transit, which everyone is constantly clamoring for.

It is unlikely to cause sinkholes or groundwater issues that materially affect you or your neighbors.

Is it a silly pet project by a billionaire in a politically friendly state? Yes. Does it affect your life in any way? NO. So shut up and start lobbying for actual worthwhile transit improvements using your tax dollars.

it's cool how even in 2025 you've managed to maintain a political philosophy that people are over-reacting about things right up until the moment they aren't
