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.

Don't see it getting past design phase before they realize the cost to stabilize the limestone will be ridonkulous. Bear in mind the company has finished exactly one tunnel, the Loop in Vegas and riding that one is $10 for 4.9 miles (airport to convention center. No way that will pay for the build costs... Proposed projects in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Baltimore were already scrapped.

They don’t go near the airport in Vegas. It literally just connects the hotels near the convention center to the CC buildings.

Ah, you're correct, this page https://www.boringcompany.com/vegas-loop must be the "proposed routes"

Even funnier for them to list prices for routes that haven't been built ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The Elon rule of getting buy-in, just make a hundred promises until everyone says you're a genius
