      I thought it was a funny image but the more I zoomed in, the more real it became and the sadder I got. If there were an abandoned parking garage in my city, that’s what it would be.

      I don’t see a turf grass lawn, so it’s got that going for it.

      Excuse me, but the junk decks would be perfect for my copious amounts of junk that I wish to display publicly

      At least units/condos have enough parking. Here they approve sky scrapers of 3 bedroom units with 2 car parks in tiny streets. Those then get rented to 3-5 people (after allowing for couples) and these tiny streets become smaller with overcrowded parking.

      I only read about it last year, but it’s been such an awe inspiring revelation. I still can’t believe that something like that existed, but I kinda can imagine it, I have lived in a really dense city and then in part of the same city which is not as dense and the feeling is just confusing

    Even though I did not ask for it in the prompt, I kinda like the one random tree on top.

      My only real issue is the dilapidated state of many of the houses, if they were nice and unkept tiny homes it’d be cool.

      I wouldn’t say I love it, but it’s certainly a better use of space than a typical garage

      Critically important in Montreal where the temperature in the winter can get to -20C pretty regularly, and summers can often hit +35C.

      You also expose more walls to wear and tear from the elements, and some of those surfaces (like the exposed bottom floor of an apartment 20m up in the air) will be hard to do maintenance on.
