I was daydreaming today about what it'd be like if roofs everywhere were suddenly made from natural, plant-based materials instead of asphalt or metal or whatever. Like, imagine your neighborhood smelling faintly like fresh grass or wood after it rains, instead of that weird hot tar smell. But then I thought, wait—would these roofs hold up in extreme weather? Um, would they attract bugs or something? Curious how you guys would feel if your neighborhood suddenly went green-roofed overnight.
I get the appeal you're describing, it'd definitely be nicer to smell grass or wood than hot tar after a storm. But honestly, from what I've seen, plant-based roofs can be tricky. They're beautiful but maintenance-heavy—think watering, weeding, and yeah, bugs too. Plus, extreme weather like heavy snow or strong winds could be a real issue unless they're designed carefully. Still, it's not impossible...maybe with some solid engineering tweaks and careful planning it could work. Worth exploring at least.
