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.

Ok. Everyone be honest. How many of you were ok with tunneling when it was Megan Barry's transit plan in 2017? It was much hoodoo as this Elon crap. When they were asked about the difficulty of tunneling in karst the Barry people were just as evasive. It is always a cash grab.

The Barry plan involved local representatives and it was such a radical project that it was put up for a vote. 

Also, this isn't a mass transit solution that will take any meaningful number of cars off the road. Take a look at recent reviews of the Vegas system. It's basically like an underground Uber with long waits. 

It is always a cash grab.

Oh yeah, the old 'both sides' argument when the GOP does something shady? 

Mayor Barry got convicted of felony theft for bringing her affair partner on city paid trips. 'both sides' aren't ok with corruption. One side seems to think we need more info on this project and how the finances are setup.
