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

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.

birth rate collapse is also a problem

Only for those exploiting labor.

in my opinion no. In various historical empires declining working class populations led to even more authorotarianism etc

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.

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

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

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

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!
