To be withion the view cone, an entire floor would have to be deleted.
And remember that the City doesn't like daycare outdoor space on podium rooftops because of all the stuff (including dead bodies) that seem to fall on them.

Agreed totally on the "politically correct" armlock attempt. Interesting (and disturbing) the dead bodies: (where do they come from?).
Anyway, some years earlier, I had seen a Time-Life photgraph of a highrise rooftop preschool in Mexico City, and understood there were others like it.
Tried to research it but must have looked in all the wrong links.
Do they still exist? Is this relevant to Vancouver at all? (not in this case; sorry for the digression)
