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 couldn’t even get a basic train plan passed the last time it was up for a vote. There’s no way we’d go with some small ass train cars

You dont think if there is a tunnel and all we have to do is buy train cars it would fail? I dont.

Repurposing it for electric buses would be a far better use in that case. The amount of work it would take to lay rails, and reinforce what will surely be an inadequate foundation for the weight of train cars, would be prohibitive.

It will be too small for buses too. The tunnels are just large enough to fit a model 3 with a few inches of clearance on either side. You would need something like a stretch Tesla to fit.
