Those are excellent ideas. Then you could use location=rooftop (or similar) to 
place basically anything on the roof, including multistory or surface parking 
structures. Garden roofs come to mind. 

For some reason, the school I teach at keeps grass covering the majority of the 
roof, and no one is up there, except 2-3 times a year. Pools, walkways, 
antennas, power and comm antennas, etc. are good too. 

There are some GIANT comm towers the sprout out of buildings here in Japan - 
large 10 story buildings with a 50m tower on top for microwave and cell tower 
antennas.

you can see one dead-center in my wikipedia pic for Maebashi City.

There is a big white antenna on a building ont he right side of the pic.

so, I guess the next goal is to get parking=multistory rendering correctly - 
there is no example on the wiki, but I *think* multi-storey does not have a 
unique render - which (in 2009) was leading to shit tagging to get a different 
render.
