lov 2 build a tunnel in Florida, a state famously known for its ability to support tunnels that don't flood to hell and back and where the ground doesn't just collapse out of the blue.

Company selection aside, the notion that a special district that is de facto controlled by a corporate entity would be allowed to make decisions that directly impact real property outside the borders of the district is shocking.

Ah, I see they're not going to have a transit system, or at least one that's not going to be viable in any way.

Very disappointing if they go through with this.

This will be difficult (but not impossible) to construct here, it'll be interesting to follow. I do want to see what/how before I write this off.

This whole thing sounds like the setup to a Mel Brooks movie.

Is it possible that the Boring Company does things other than tunnels? Could it just be a normal transit system with their name on it? I have no idea.

They don't even do normal transit systems with the one tunnel they actually built. They built a tunnel in Las Vegas ... and now just have Teslas drive through it.

Looking forward to this “transportation system” moving less people per hour than Constellation Carousel. So dumb.

Yeah-- I just can't imagine building tunnels in such unstable ground. I know most of you are probably too young to remember the Winter Park sinkhole, but it was national news for weeks when I was a kid. I just can't imagine wanting to screw around with the soft sand and limestone any more than necessary...

I'm not a fan of Musk or how he runs his companies. I wish Universal could have found a company to work with which better aligns with my values.

However, I'm trying to look at the bright side and steel-man a bit... I (mostly) trust Universal. Woodbury very likely would have signed off on this. There's a good chance they were shown plans which looked 1) reasonably feasible and 2) looked financial sound.

I do have concerns, including budget, price for guests (I would hope this is free, at least for ticketed guests), throughput, safety /environment, etc. But, I'm going to do more research and 'wait and see' before judging.

In a perfect future, site A and B will be connected with a free transportation method providing high throughput, with the project being completed on time and within budget (hopefully before 2030s), without relying on tax payer dollars. The tunnel would, in theory, alleviate traffic congestion and emissions.

I think it's up to us to voice our concerns and hold the companies and local government to the above standards, and make your voice heard not just on these forums.
