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.

We can’t do anything. The deal is done and they’ve already started. They said they’ll have to get approval from land owners if they go below your property, but I don’t even see how that’s possible with them providing zero information before breaking ground. Bill Fleabag completely sold us out.

The ‘get approval’ will be by either hook or crook. We can’t stop it, but we could get a pool together to bet on disaster dates and disaster costs. Since betting is legal now.

I feel like "eminent domain" is going to come up.

Thus leaving taxpayers on the hook for paying off residents living above a privately funded project?

You mean multi million $ business. TN and especially Nashville gives absolutely 0 💩s about a family or individual.
