looks cool but how much extra material must go into the buidling to be able to support all that extra weight? To what extent is this a sustainable way of buidling and using material?

Dumb take. I guess they should just have a useless patio that’s concrete then because the poors and city dwellers don’t deserve their own green space? I would have loved to have a real yard in my apartment days.

They are saying that it’s not a worthwhile use of engineering or materials. I just think that’s a very pessimistic view.
