This key graf at the end describes why it's a bad demo that may cost taxpayers a lot of money:
"The result is that the tunnel would have negative value to the region. As a transportation service based on how Musk wishes to construct and operate it, it has practically no value. But in the event of upzoning in West Los Angeles, the tunnel would complicate any possibility of rail under Sunset connecting Hollywood with Downtown. Metro may even need to acquire and demolish Musk's tunnel, or else dig under the tunnel, which would complicate intermediate stations in Silver Lake and Echo Park."
- ng12 8y ago> the tunnel would complicate any possibility of rail under Sunset connecting Hollywood with Downtown Which I'm sure is right around the corner, guys.
- skybrian 8y agoI think he's really reaching there. As a tech demo, this tunnel is not that important in the long run (low hours, low traffic, only used for entertainment traffic) and so could easily be shut down if something better is put in later.
