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

You compare a city center with an interchange close to the city limit. You will see stuff like that in Europe too, especially motorways that separate cities from their sprawling neighbors. Houston has interchanges that look way more problematic.
-
The really fun bit is that the US doesn't need more room to house people. There are more vacant apartments than there are homeless people as is, but nobody can pay the rents.
-
Build stack interchange only in cities skylines, not in real world
-
Comparing apples to pears. Nice.
-
How so? It's showing that with all that space the interchange is taking up you can house 30000+ people.
-
There are enough highway interchanges in Italy too.
Not every ground that is suitable for streets, is also suitable for living.
The cost between those both are not comparable.
Usage of land is (at least in Italy) carefully determined to fulfill societies needs. Most people prefer to live somewhere, where infrastrcture already exists instead of building up a ghost town without anything nearby.

This isn't a great argument. There is so much open undeveloped space in the US that could be used to house people. This interchange isn't taking space away from anyone.
-
This isn't a great argument. A majority of highway interchanges in city limits have actually displaced people.
-
this interchange is in the city of Houston. of course it's taking space away.
-
Go tell that to the people displaced by Robert Moses.

In Texas?

It's not just about how much space, but where that space is.
