well, im not sure where this tunnel would be located BUT if he was digging under my $500,000-1,000,000 residential house (or whatever the prices there are) or my commercial property i sure as hell would sue the billionaire all the way to the bank as well. For him its just "playing games" oh let me dig a tunnel so i can skip the traffic on MY way to work. For me - its my livelihood - house is a single biggest purchase in most people's lives (or my business - if he is digging under my commercial property). If this tunnel affects my building - what do i do when things go wrong (foundation cracks)?
I have to go around and ask 10 people in my neighborhood if its ok if i want to move a freaking wall inside my house and this guy can just go and dig up tunnels without asking us ... just because he feels like it and he is a billionaire.
- leesec 8y agoThe tunnels will not impact the people above them, you won't even notice them being dug if they were directly beneath you.
- newaccoutnas 8y agoDuring the construction of the Crossrail development in London, they had to 'thread a needle' in terms of tunneling underneath the Barbican Theatre. They were tunnelling directly below (metres away!) whilst people were still enjoying shows in the theatre.

- crysin 8y agoWhy would you live in a place where people have to approve what you want to do with your property?

- jobigoud 8y agoI don't know about GP comment about stuff inside the house but here we have something called "local urban planning" where I live. For example, depending on the plan, you can't build above 2 stories, or you have to conform to a predefined set of colors for the street facing wall. There are various rules depending on the neighborhood you're in and if there is a historical site in the vicinity, etc.
