UTgrad09 3662 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 I'm not even sure where to begin with that... Spacious house? Sure. But you're on top of a building and your yard consists of pipes...and because of the setback and the outer wall, you don't really have much of a view, either. I mean, I like the (mostly) green roof aspect...but it doesn't make for a great living space. I mean, they could've added hundreds of units on top...that's going to make a bigger impact for a fast growing space. They could've added hundreds of units, built a large central courtyard, and if folks want a spacious place, they could've put penthouses on top with their own private lawns. How many of these 4 unit developments would they need to help reach their demand for "more spaciousness." I mean, it's a city! If you want to live close to work, live in the city. If you want more space, live outside the city. I can't imagine that the "space" they have reminds them anything of the countryside. SMH....only the Chinese.
