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

Let's pave paradise and put up a Walmart parking lot!

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

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.

Nowhere to park here 😡

There's actually a settlement down there already, they have to get their mail delivered by pack mule from the top of the canyon's post office

Must be from California, loves to build on flood plain instead of high ground.

I threw up in my mouth a little

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.

Okay that is not the Grand Canyon. The is the Vermilion Cliffs which is just up river from the Grand Canyon NP.

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

Flash floods?

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.

It’s got city water and a sewer line - looks like a Walmart waiting to happen

Almost happened just outside the boarder of the Grand Canyon NP

Lmao, whoever posted that has clearly never been to the grand canyon.

This is AI generated, I can tell by the pixels and having done many AIs in my time

Insert Joni Mitchell lyrics here.

🤢🤮

Just tell people there is gold/oil/some kind of rare earth elements there, people will start flocking, turning the area into a city overnight. Unless of course the government does not allow development on that area. Though I do wonder what would be lost aside from a beautiful view if people do start building a city in grand canyon itself?

Give them time.

Whst the fuck is wrong with people. Just leave us and the grandcanyon and nature alone.
