The underground infrastructure downtown has been there a long time. There was no unfinished building. It never got past cost analysis. Musk's numbers were bullshit, and he never had a clue as to what it would take to get it done.

I think Rahm humored him. It was never a serious proposal.

Rahm was a good chief of staff for Barack Obama. He's a corporate centrist, but he is talented and driven. A nuts and bolts guy
He's a bad politician, though. And he should have chosen the citizens over the police union.
