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:

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
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.
No, real estate moguls have learned that apartments and high-rise condos and hotels are more profitable than single family homes.
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 😡
Must be from California, loves to build on flood plain instead of high ground.
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
What's the Amazon deliver time?
They just throw it down the side of the cliff
Sounds like a perfect place to test drone delivery
The mail is all junk mail! Extended warranty on my mule??
I threw up in my mouth a little
Okay that is not the Grand Canyon. The is the Vermilion Cliffs which is just up river from the Grand Canyon NP.
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.
If Trump gets back in, they'll all be leased for oil development.
I know this is just a joke, but having at least an "alpine" or "mountain" coaster down to the bottom could save many lives.
A big zipline
This is AI generated, I can tell by the pixels and having done many AIs in my time
You mean there isn't a real Walmart in the Grand Canyon?
Flash floods?
Seasonal amusement park you say?
Sounds like an excuse to raise their rents.
It’s got city water and a sewer line - looks like a Walmart waiting to happen
🤢🤮
Lmao, whoever posted that has clearly never been to the grand canyon.
I have, in fact, been to the Grand Canyon. I also thought it was funny.
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?
Trump did remove national parks from the protection of exploration for oil and resources. He has also said in his "1 day of being a dictator" he would drill drill drill!
So I imagine in his new America there could be oil rigs in all of the national parks much like they are throughout Northwestern Texas.
Insert Joni Mitchell lyrics here.
Or Joan Baez.
Give them time.
Whst the fuck is wrong with people. Just leave us and the grandcanyon and nature alone.
For god's sake, don't give them ideas!
