LA’s Forgotten Tunnel Systems Explained | 11 Minutes Under The City

[@ladyincityoflights6449]

I lived in Los Angeles from 1967 to 2021. My late husband's best friend was a California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer. He was responsible for helping to transport the police officers who were accused in the Rodney King trial to and from court. He said they were transported through tunnels underneath the courts, just like the guy said in this video. It is a common-knowledge secret in LA.

It's no secret, just a known fact of life.

I recently saw an interview of a Starbucks employee. I believe they worked in LA, maybe more specific town but in LA. The person claimed they work at an underground Starbucks. Specifically, celebrities, politicians, and other elites, drive down there to avoid being seen and can stop at the Starbucks, free of charge. They spoke as if this was no big deal, just a job they go to everyday they have to get paid extra for keeping those secrets.. Honestly it's not like it's impossible.

[@Sunshine6oh4]

My uncle is a multi millionaire and he always says the key to success is time management. Time is money. Every second you waste is a second you will never get back. If you aren't making money then you are losing money. Wealthy people pay for convience. They might pay a ton for these tunnels but they are using the time they save not being stuck in traffic like the rest of us for more productive things. When I heard about the tunnels being used by the wealthy elite it just made sense. I'd actually be more surprised if this wasn't a thing. Elon Musk built his own tunnel from his house to his workplace. ​@@jess_jeff7549

I come from a city that had tunnels from the railway station to various establishments for alcohol, opium, gambling dens, and other activities. This started during Prohibition as well. My father worked in a building downtown that had a bricked in tunnel a coupe of blocks from the railway station and there was a sinkhole that exposed another tunnel downtown. It's a tourist attraction now.

[@zeevaamrita6624]

Jamal I lived in LA a couple of decades and yeh, a lot of us knew about this in some way or other. Some people are always explorers of where we live and grow up. A lot of these areas were blockaded (at least to the unknowing general public) and some had been blocked off by earthquakes or other means. There were others where (if uninitiated one was stopped by scary security types.) An artist friend of mine who began the 'gentrification' of downtown LA found an old speakeasy under the building he rented for cheap as all that when downtown was a 'ghost town' at the turn of the century. Do a search, there are a number of vids exploring some of the tunnels. While others remain 'no entry' to those not in the club.

London in the UK has always had tunnels underneath it is used for sewers, London underground transport and the old mail network. They were even used to store art from museums during the wars. People can tour the old mail railway.

A lot of these old buildings still have them. Maybe boarded up but they are around. Also if u walking downtown sidewalks u can see oldschool glass brick imbedded in the cement. These are skylight to the tunnels. Also I believe musk and his boring company purchase a few for that high speed train he’s got planned to lax.
