Just think of the taxes that they can then avoid!

There are buildings there, not single family homes. Unrealistic.

still realistic because of the massive highway in the middle of a city

This makes me think, how many other places would be a beautiful view if we didn't start building there

All of them
- Knew this would be the first response lol
You can build in a way that looks pretty tough.
- We could also have a habitable earth and good trains and stop raping so many fucking kids.
  We could do a lot of things. Doesn't mean we're gonna.

Walmart not big enough that's why

The Walmart is actually underground and occupies 15 square blocks and boasting 5 levels for all your shopping needs.

Walmart, the cornerstone of society as op shows in this post

Now that's a Grand Old Canyon /zoidberg

Potential of ghost town

Because building on a riverbed is really stupid.

Your average cities skylines map

Smog would be a beast

Would be a small Walmart

If you want to live in a big ditch go ahead.

Carve out the faces of the past mayors on the canyon walls while we're at it.

Location, location, location.

Because we would take off and Nuke it from Orbit!

Have this saved for whenever an apologist starts ranting about commie blocks when someone suggests bike paths are kinda cool

Lmaoo WHYIIIAII NAAWGHT!!!

I don't want to ride a donkey down there, but also am car skeptical. Maybe high speed commuter rail in the canyon could be artfully and sensibly done for our weird superfuture. I bet there would be amazing archaeological and geological discoveries in the construction process! With the rail system in place it would be foolish not to build some kind of sustainable coworking space with integrated living quarters and it would be trivial to stock a bodega with wholesome, all-natural foods and beverages. Hiking supplies too!
