Let your city councillor know. I am certainly sending mine this posting. Thanks for continuing to be a follower of my blog. I enjoy receiving your comments.

This is a case where architects and builders took the easiest or traditional option. I don’t even think cost is much of a factor here, as green/painted roofs are shown to be lower cost that tarred roofs.
