I love the idea of underground transportation. Less risk to infrastructure.

Would be an improvement on what we have now. Designing cities around cars exclusively has had so many detrimental effects. Those designs represent a major departure from traditional urban planning, which no doubt had discontents, but also represented thousands of years of accumulated knowledge.
The car, or rather, individual private transport has a place in the city, but cities shouldn't exclusively be designed around the car. The belief that the car is the centerpiece of the city has lead to an absolutely dystopian architecture, where the average American city is nothing more than strip malls and parking lots.

The "Big Dig" in Boston was 1.5 miles and ended up costing over $8 billion ($21 billion in 2020 dollars). It's a great idea, but way too expensive to dig without very concentrated urban centers such as NYC. There's not a city in the south concentrated enough to make it work. Even Dallas, Fort Worth, or Atlanta are too spread out from where people live and work to be used and economical.

Is that supposed to be high speed transit powered by testicles?

Where will the fetus gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?
People don’t want to live underground.
These folks are silly designing this shite.

Great concept, for an individual residence, not an entire city. Look at apartments, you can't go down as easy as you can go up.
I'd love to have a property with the home built into the side of a hill or a cave or something with hidden parking, etc. etc. but I'd never imagine a city pulling that concept off.

Kind of how they built disney. Great plan but the price makes it not practical.

He's part of it. He just said he only devotes 3% of his time to it.

Too expensive to do this on Earth but could be a decent concept for a space colony.

Saudi's will probably use dirt cheap labor from SE Asia. They hold on to their papers until the work is completed.

We can't even build a mile of interstate without a 6 year long impact study. This is a crack-induced hallucination

Hudson Yards in NYC was built with a similar construction. All service access is underground. Vacuum tubes that moves trash. Trains to/from Penn Station and the subway train yards are underneath — the whole multi-building complex was actually built on top of the trains.
It’s a really impressive engineering feat.
