    Seriously though. We Europeans joke about the US a lot, but one thing I’ll always envy/admire is your National Parks. You have to protect those at all costs.

    Lol this is actually what I did in cities skylines.

    I built Walmart, upscaled it like x10 times, built 10k square feet of parking around it and made one big ass 40 lane road that’s directly connecting it to every district. Then I made it the only commercial building in the city with 100k employees. Holy hell!

    Being the U.S, there’s basically zero chance that it would be high-rises. Instead, there would be McMansions. Also a lot more parking lots

      This looks like low-mid density. So much roads/wasted space and like 10 high rites do not make a high density neighborhood.

    A) It’s a National Park and you wouldn’t be able to have a city esp with a Walmart on a National Park.

    B) Like 90% of Arizona is untouched wilderness and undeveloped. Why would you want to develop at the bottom of the GC when you could develop literally anywhere else in the state? The cost of transporting construction materials, given that there aren’t any roads from the surface to the bottom, not to mention logistics for people living and working in the Canyon, would be astronomical.

        OMG do you mean a 15 minute city!?!? How dare they focus us to live in such a place. They are bound to make us stop rolling coal with our trucks while they are at it! Freedum!

    All those people in the towers just work at the giant Walmart, which is now the attraction.

    I know this is just a joke, but having at least an “alpine” or “mountain” coaster down to the bottom could save many lives.
