Theres also cost. If you're constructing a building, you need to pay for land. Smaller plots cost less. So you build up

calls come from anywhere ro, not just floors, floors are easy to traverse vs traffic

In the case of fire, there's also sprinklers

you are talking a 2 minute climb of stairs vs a 20 minutes sit in traffic

in the case its more spread out you need more people everywhere on standby

The idea is that the streets are wide enough to accommodate a truck’s ability to get through

Are you talking about 6 lane streets?

I was thinking double wide service lanes

DOUBLE WIDE

i dono why but that cracks me up

X X L

@Ottobon is right. You'd need to hire way more people in order to cover the additional area

😎 🍆

I honestly think it all comes down to cost

we are ground animals, and exploration of regions are dictated by that, that will never chance in regard to physical ability to respond to *situations*

@King Canuck liberals don't say that. Socialists say that

no u

we no fly like birbs, *cry*

i tried to engineer nice flying platform but didnt know about airfoils at the time wasn like wewewew

Okay so if you were given a very large land area, you would build upward?

Not at first, no

upward/downward is more efficient

for tight spaces

But you run out of land at some point

thasts all

All the way downward

And you gotta build up

mole men 😎

why travel across town when you can just use the elevator

building vertically is better

Calgary in Canada is very spread out

It takes a while to get anywhere

WTF OMG ARE YOU CANADIAN

NOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo

What does it matter?

*cries internally*

I'm neither confirming nor denying

just car things

no bother dont worry

im going to resist want to launch into point and counter point about restrictive ass canadian car culture
