Re: The Rooftop [???]

I have been in this building for slightly over 3 years now. I remember at that time (when they actually had a broker showing the spaces; and, yes, I was a sucker who payed a broker fee) I was told that a nice garden area would be developed somewhere outside. I never actually envisioned it would happen considering there just doesn't seem to be adequate space anywhere alongside the outside of the building. What bothers me is that there is an entire rightside of the rooftop that could easily be converted into some kind of rooftop garden area, without it compromising the privacy or whatever of the people who live in the penthouses. Afterall, the people living in the penthouses (3 units) each have their very own patios, which are huge (and of course have stellar views of the Manhattan skyline). I just think that an equally nice rooftop garden area could be developed on the rightside of the roof (mega space there), away from the respective patio areas, as a place where all the tenants in the building can enjoy. It's ironic, out of 50-plus units in the entire building, only 3 units have the advantage of being able to enjoy the outdoors without having to leave the building. Would my idea ever be considered? Doubt it...because I'm sure that the people in penthouse A, B, and C, respectively, would fight for that not to happen, sadly and unfortunately.

On another note, the trash and recycling bins along the brick wall outside are an absolute eye-sore. You'd think in a 50-plus unit building something a lot more practical, like a small dumpster towards the back, would've been considered.
