Elon Musk to dig tunnel to ease traffic in LA, but he doesn't yet have permission

I was up in the bay area not too long ago. What an embarrassment the leadership in this state is. It took about an 1.3 hrs for us to cross the city or drive about 25 miles.

They have allowed SF and LA to completely overbuild in these areas to the point where the roads are all but obsolete and can't handle the traffic.

Yet they continue to allow these AH developers to build 200 or 2k unit apartment buildings.

At this rate, the entire region will be gridlocked 24 hours per day in a few more years.

Elon Musk is very successful digging holes.........and having taxpayers fill them.

[Lorianne]

How about having fewer people?

[SaveFerris]

And a company car, Mike. Please don’t forget that.

Instead all sorts of high density multi-story housing is replacing single story homes in north OC, making traffic a nightmare even on city streets.

My sincere desire is for Trump to enforce the immigration laws that Obama and GW Bush flagrantly subverted. It could bring this overbuilding to a crashing halt.

Mexican Drug Cartels will dig a tunnel in half the time at a quarter of the cost.

Would he use this?

So rich yet so little common sense.

The lack of permits/permission didn’t stop Charles Yerkes from ripping up the streets of ChiTown putting building his “transportation” system.

Most outside the box thinking since Jed Clampett declared 50 years ago on CBS that the solution to L.A’s smog problem was to put a giant fan on the San Gabriel Mountains and suck it all out to the high desert.

How about gettin rid of the illegals. .. . Forcing Hollyweirders to actually move to Canada. And getting the dopers off the roads ?

Problems solved

“there are a whole mess of electric and gas utility lines, water pipes, and sewer pipes under Los Angeles”

And don’t forget...tunneling stops for a month if some Indian bow-and-arrow happens to be run into.

[VRWC For Truth]

Where’s that elusive CA snipe when ya need it?...

[Balding_Eagle]

He’ll just go under them.

After all, that’s what tunnels are good at.

[dragnet2]

I’m all for development, but these AH developers need to head out to the deserts to build.

They’ve gridlocked the coastal plain of S.CA all the way up to the mountains. It needed to stop 20 years ago.

Where’s he gonna dump all his dirt? Beverly Hills?

[Klemper]

C4 is all I am saying. Shut it down!!!!

[Rebelbase]

Musk seems to fashion himself as Tony Stark.

[WMarshal]

there are a whole mess of electric and gas utility lines, water pipes, and sewer pipes under LosAngeles.

You just have to dig deep enough to get under the bulk of them. The wells would be the only big issue then.

There is also the "Underground City of Alien reptilians" LOL. Maybe Musk is trying to find his daddy!
