by These rooftop patios/enclosures/cages started popping up a year or two ago. There was one on the roof of the building next to me and now there are three. A couple of things. Maybe it feels cosy and safe to be inside one, but from the outside, it looks like you are in a cage.
When I came up to the roof on the 4th of July to watch fireworks, there were a bunch of people in the enclosure closest to the camera, aka enclosure 1 in the picture below. I don’t think you really get the idea from this angle. Maybe if you imagine a group of people in enclosure 2. I swear to God, the way they were huddled in there, looking out, they looked just like animals in a zoo on display.
And now that the enclosures/patios are right up next to each other, it’s just kinda silly. What is the point?
Is any tenant of the building allowed to set up an enclosure for themself? At some point, will there be no more room left on the roof for tenants like you who may not have set up an enclosure yet? It would kind of bother me for that reason.
That’s a very good point! And I’ll bet the landlord’s are charging them to be able to stake out these spots on the roof.
