> TikTok’s “Tunnel Girl” has focused fresh attention on the amateur excavators who build their own underground infrastructure — often in defiance of local laws. Gotta love we’re at the point where digging a tunnel on your own land, which you own, is illegal lol

There are many things you cannot do on your property, and that has been true for a long long time.

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
There’s an old myth that Seymour Cray used to dig tunnels in his backyard.

There is at least one report that it was indeed just mythmaking, though: https://boingboing.net/2006/08/10/seymour-cray-liked-t.html .

I assume heavily changing the water infiltration/leaking paths could also have significant effects on how the ground behaves even outside of the area that is worked on.
