In response to ""Weird Nerds" "Valid criticism of Elon Musk" (and it's not just Tesla fans, SpaceX and starlink too)" by Beryllium

To your IM, sort of

I'm intrigued by the possibility of Boring a least partly solving some transportation related problems.

I know people dismiss it as "he invented subways/trains", but that ignores that people prefer cars for the privacy and the versatility. Cars can go places that trains and subways can't and *if* tunnels can lessen congestion (not sure if they can, based on studies of adding lanes to surface roads) then they are a potential benefit.

It seems like building roadways/tunnels in vertical stacks might improve traffic flow.
