Gotta love we’re at the point where digging a tunnel on your own land, which you own, is illegal lol

If it is in a suburban area (as is the case with the creator mentioned in your quote) a collapse would put surrounding properties at risk

Right, in a sense, we all own the infra they're endangering.
Now out on the farm, maybe do what you want.

You need permits to dig a tunnel in Herndon (VA), so it’s not illegal. Similar to any major construction on your home. She didn’t secure them beforehand.

Except she’s digging it in 200sqft of urban housing backyard in Herndon, VA USA. If you have 10 acres and want to dig a hole, go for it. But if you want to dig a tunnel in your backyard and your two neighbors houses are 100ft or less away… yeah, I would think twice.

A badly-dug tunnel can be a huge risk to your neighbors' properties, as well as to any underground infrastructure in the area.

Digging can affect utilities, water drainage, cause subsidence… of course it’s illegal, unless you get a permit. If you want to dig without a permit go to some place in the middle of nowhere.
