    I don’t know how much it would cost to do that but I feel like that would price smaller businesses out of building in the city as I’d imagine it’d be quite a bit more expensive to build on top of a garage than it would a plot of land. Maybe the city could subsidize the cost though.

      Small businesses aren’t the people building towers, and are rarely the people renting space in said towers, but like you said there’s no reason a city can’t encourage any specific kind of business with tax breaks or subsidies

        Right the skyscrapers could afford it, what I’m talking about is like the smaller bars and shops and things like that which aren’t in towers.
