I agree 100%. Also why The Boring Company was hiring staff at Adelanto. I am guessing an LA to LV tunnel with Prufrock is going to be the tech's coming out party as it were... And most likely a race against Brightline to get to the city first since Musk seems to be all about disrupting the status quo, even if it's just a mindset like "America needs to copy the world instead of leapfrogging it"

Personally my compromise/ideal tech would be something I call "MuskMetro" an automated battery-electric Skytrain-like rapid transit that could use the same 12' diameter tunnels as TBC has designed.

If you think the tunnels are too small for rapid transit let me remind you the London Underground Deep Tube network uses tunnels with a smaller diameter than that! So already MILLIONS are transported daily narrower tunnels using tech invented LITERALLY 2 centuries ago...
