Thank the gods we live in such a car-saturated nation, how horrible it would be if this space was used to house people

Even better: Leaving that land undeveloped and natural, instead of cramming humans or cars on it
People need to live somewhere, and if they live somewhere like Siena it leaves more space for nature.
Yeah, and the nicer urbanists can make cities the more empty land there will be. And I can live in a pile of rocks with animals for my friends while you all enjoy the nice cities.
Humans need land to live on. Constructng densely reduces the land needed for humans, leaving more undeveloped land.
Reducing human population is beyond the scope of urban planning.
The last sentence could be argued as north american roads become more deadly.
Are you proposing a design competition for making the deadliest road?
Legalize mad max cars! This murica, any car without a machine gun installed on the hood is for sissy liberals.
Real men run others off the road with their 80,000lbs Ford, with it's hood 6ft up from the road.
Your average SUV or pickup truck is deadly enough. Also the so-called self-driving vehicles that aren't really autonomous are deathtraps and lethal to third parties, like children that one can't see while sitting in a 2024 Ford F-150.
Hell Yeah! Deer and rabbits have to live somewhere too. I wish I lived 15 min. from undisturbed nature!
What a dumb take.
Nah
Siena is (in my memory at least) a small, quaint, Tuscan village.
It's a medieval walled city of historical significance; the centre is a world heritage site. It's the location of the oldest bank in the world, one of the oldest universities and the central piazza is the venue for the Palio (a bareback horse race contested by the different quarters of the city.)
I went there by chance during a Palio. The whole city was alive in a way that I can't even begin to describe. Would definitely go back.
Still too many people far too close to me
