“Because green skyscrapers and high-rises are a bullshit non-solution to serious systemic problems.”

“But if you want greenery on a building nonetheless, do I have an idea for you – a portable, modular, scalable solution called ‘potted plants on your balcony’.”

    its called putting a goddam Pond liner between the dirt and the structure itself.

    lol, sure, that sounds super fucking safe… 🙄

    I suggest you look in to building regulations and how developers do their utmost to circumvent them before you speak with such confidence about something you clearly know nothing about… fucking pond liner smmfh… 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

      Idk the English word for it, but there is a kind of foil that is water resistant and where roots cant go through, as long as its not a tree or something at least. Its put between the foundation and the walls to stop water from below.

      Pond liner is just what the translator got out, its probably incorrect.

      Also im talking about this

      Not planting literal trees on balconys, that would be a structural problem, yes. But small shrubs and Twiners would do the trick as well if not better in regards of cooling and weight. They also don’t need much soil or and significantly less water.

      Also can you stop spamming emojis?

        “spamming emojis”… 😂
        Get over yourself

        🤣🤣🤣

        Oh, and it doesn’t matter what you call it, the thing you’re talking about isn’t a solution (not only, as you say yourself, is it only “suitable” for bare minimum greenery, so not even relevant to the discussion about proper plants growing on buildings, it also doesn’t actually do that good a job, I suggest as well as looking up building regulations, you look up what walls look like, but more importantly in what poor condition it is under that crap once it’s taken/falls off, and how many architects and builders despise the stuff).

        So to recap - get over yourself, doubling down on being wrong, however confidently, won’t suddenly make you right, nor will criticising the use of emojis because you have a stick so far up your ass you can’t even bend over lmfao (here’s a hint though: the less of an ass you are, the less likely people are to post laughing emojis at you)
