- Behind-the-Scenes Efforts: Rep. Wesley Hunt has spent months trying to get officials to hire Elon Musk’s The Boring Co. to build a major flood infrastructure project in Houston.
- Size Matters: The Boring Co. has pitched building tunnels that are far smaller than what most studies have indicated the region would need to address its ongoing flooding issues.
- Under Consideration: County officials recently put together a report looking at the possibility of smaller tunnels, though they say they’ve made no final decision on design or contractor.
Initially I was thinking this makes sense. Im so glad the chicago metro area did the deep tunnel but yeah they should do it right and not some inadequate version. I can say that deep tunnel started out way smaller and capacity grew and grew as they saw greater and greater need and its still barely adequate to a major event. I expect it to be expanded more.
