because of the moderate climate, california has a lot of flat roofs. i've long wondered why apartment builders here didn't just plop (and planners allowed) a single family home right on top with enough dirt to grow a lawn and a few plants (with parking put underground). it's the best of both worlds--apartments and single family homes (albeit above ground level) can co-exist everywhere. that'd be one such middle ground.

Apartments need only add a communal garden that tenants can opt into.
