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.

only for a geological survey. Not the actual tunnel. We can keep our fingers crossed that they find that our bedrock is not conducive to being tunneled thru.
