An odd outburst. On a smaller scale, assuming you own a house or 3-flat or whatever, would you ever spend your money on a design "for the neighborhood"? Would you open a public park on your front lawn? To put down an extra million on fancy shingles or unnecessary structural bracing would be absurd if asphalt shingles and 2x4s will get the job done.
