My point on GC's in general in any major city, the owners and upper level management are making a ton of money on any developments in any major metropolitan city, don't think for a minute a little regulation for a green roof or in the case of a green tower in the Chinese cities is going to cut into their profit margins or put people out of work. I worked with a company doing business with all the developers in Boston and have a friend who is a high level PM for Suffolk, they are printing money working on developments in Boston. Prime real estate is so limited now, trust me a new regulation or two to insure there is a green roof, or affordable housing (my son works EMS in Boston and can't afford to buy) for others than those making six figures; isn't going to hurt any of these GC's.
You must probably be in the Trump camp and believe climate change is fake news  and therefore what happens in other countries can't possibly affect our weather here. |
I'm thinking green towers , with the energy and clean water involved to build and maintain would create a net negative ....but that's just me being a realist and I didn't have to spend hours thinking about it . I wouldn't be surprised if fresh water starved Calafornia adopts the regulation though 😂
I'm not sure a lack of greenery is the problem .
I guess that makes me a climate change denier .
