This the Ad Coelum Doctrine in legalese. I don't think it makes sense either.

You don't own the airspace over your house (over some minimum altitude), why would you own the land under your house (below some minimum depth). I would have absolutely no problem with a tunnel running 20m--or whatever the safe, silent amount is--underneath my house.

So you wouldn't have been okay with the Elontunnel, which runs closer than 20m below the surface--about 28 feet in the case of the Hawthorne tunnel. Though for point of comparison, some portions of the Metro system run at this depth or shallower.
