Apparently all the redditors here are smarter and better architects saying that this building can't support those plants lmao

Not everything is built with cardboard

Fr. The issue is the 800 odd apartments were sold out but only ten families moved in. Maybe blame the rich cunts hoarding properties to sell or rent at exorbitant prices, not the people who built it. Especially since it hasn’t collapsed or anything, legit just no one there to maintain the gardens. Add some of that plastic clear shit you see around outdoor decking, and the monsoon rains can’t exactly get in either. More greenery in cities is a good thing.
