This week, r/sanfrancisco turned into a whimsical hub for urban planning discussions focused on the creation of absurd tunnel systems. Sparked by a user’s modest proposal for a Golden Gate Park tunnel, other Redditors quickly joined in, submitting increasingly ridiculous suggestions and maps. The serious conversation devolved into humorous exchanges and memes, featuring ideas like a 'Whale Tunnel' to permit marine creatures access to the Bay. The community's ability to blend humor and creativity exemplifies the unique culture of Reddit and its users' engagement in local issues.
On Wednesday, the page was flooded with posts about tunnels as users shared increasingly ludicrous proposals for subterranean passageways for car traffic.
What began as a half-serious (Reddit) urban planning conversation quickly snowballed into the meme of the day, as other users began sharing maps of their own, increasingly fanciful dream tunnels.
The only tunnel I need, user u/pornandbadopinions posted, accompanied by a map with a line drawn from their home in Lower Haight to Taqueria Cancun in the Mission.
Another user shared a map titled Whale Tunnel, with a horizontal chunk of the city crossed out, allowing large oceanic creatures such as whales to enter and exit The Bay.
