Yea, because the underground to NYC is REALLY over built. There are fuck tons of old tunnels there. A lot that were never recorded properly (or lost). LA doesn't have the same problem. Especially since they are farther from water. The NYC ground is extremely saturated in comparison to LA. The only thing you have to really worry about hitting is oil in LA rather than water or an old tunnel that was never mapped.

He literally picked one of the easiest places to build a tunnel, and the criticism here is, he still hasn't done anything new, special different or cost effective. He hasn't paid out to do the things that really cost money, like life safety, stations and redundancies. But he already claims he did it "cheaper" compared to everyone else. The tunneling portions to these types of projects are typically the cheapest expense unless there are special circumstances. I think the tunnel from England to France was the most expensive part due to a lot of issues they were running into with water.

Again, everyone says he's bold. He ain't. A GED redneck could point out that he's not doing anything new, special or different. HN really is ignorant of industries that don't fall in line with dev.
