I've read about The Boring Company, but I don't think the plans to tunnel under Los Angeles is a good idea, nor will it work in the long run.
Why?
1. Loose dirt, prone to cave-ins.
2. Mine subsidence and the damage to structures on the surface, lawsuits, insurance claims, etc, there is enough of that in my area already, what with old coal mines and all.
3. The tunnels would be at or below sea level, so one good earthquake, mistake, or hitting an underground water source that no one currently knows about, and the whole deal is flooded. All that work for nothing.
4. Tunneling under downtown, with huge heavy buildings above? I don't think that would be allowed.
It might work in other places, but not in L.A. . Just deal with the traffic.
Why is Elon driving anyhow? Can't he hire a private helicopter?
