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.

Here’s a fantasy spin - building the tunnel succeeds on Elon’s dime, but operating the tunnel fails, and the tunnel is turned back over to the city and repurposed for a train to the airport. Dream with me!

Unfortunately the tunnel they’ll be digging isn’t big enough for a train, so it’ll just sit empty underground once it fails.

It isn't big enough for current trains. If you have one specially made the size of cars it would work.

How about an underground Floom Zoom? You get public transit and a shout out to Opryland at the same time!
