That’s disgusting. Why aren’t there any ads on the cliff walls?

I’ll never understand why we don’t advertise using the surface of the moon.

Most types of radiation including light exhibit the inverse square law so thankfully it’s too unfeasible at the moment.

Reminds me of “Z comme Zorglub”, by André Franquin, 1961: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/02/e7/b2/02e7b2230b42d997e331f2717b3e11f8.jpg

This is suggested in a couple different classic science fiction stories:

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!

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

The McMansions are on the cliffs above. The high-rises are for the workers.

McMansions are for workers. That’s how they got their name. Big like mansions, but built as cheap as possible so that they’re (relatively) affordable… Until they start falling apart in 15 years.

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

Sure, when zoning codes allow for them.

If they rezone a national park to residential it will definitely be highrise MDU.

Edit more space efficient for the NIMGC tree huggers

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

I mean fuck it, we’ve already exterminated entire biomes of species who dared to exist where we wanted strip malls, what’s another pretty geological formation?

We might be the worst neighbor in the entire universe, because we handily win that title on Earth.
