@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Sure, but if there were a good reason to have flat roofs, this is solvable in general case. -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette what is the reason bigger city buildings have flat roofs? -
@drethelin@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Good question. I don't know! -
@St_Rev@drethelin@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Maybe to not waste space for an attic? -
@emareaf@St_Rev@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette at larger building scales the geometry of a slope is more wasteful? -
@drethelin A 45 degree slope on a building taking up a city block will be half a city block high!

@St_Rev humidity is complicated to manage - mold etc. very common in poorly-built structures -
@sarahdoingthing Also, the further north you go, the steeper the roofs. Because snow doesn't drain.
