Because on one side you have a cliff, and on the other side you have a busy road. Unless people grew wings over night, there isn't a way pedestrians would have reign in that area.

Because of the space limitations, density is difficult to attain, especially since the infrastructure doesn't allow it.

Of course, that's been said several times, so I don't know why you're still pushing the same question
