Too bad here in America, Land of the Free to pay up or go fuck yourself, this never happen outside of the occasional local town ordinance. The government gets paid taxes either way so they don’t care.

Unrelated, why does that city look like it was built in SimCity using mods?

The district you’re referring to is called Eixample (literally “extension”), which is a planned district that was built as a large scale construction project in the 19th and 20th century to expand the city and make room for more/more modern apartments.

Which is kind of ironic seen the current problems.

But it’s indeed incredibly beautiful.

Lisboa has a similar but smaller and older district, built there to rebuild after an earthquake.
