Translations:Rooftop Gatherings/9/en

The mixed nature of the space shapes the social dynamic in another way. Because a communal roof is shared with neighbours, gatherings there sit at a boundary between private life and neighbourly life. Some hosts describe this positively, noting that visibility encourages a more considerate tone. Others find it limiting, particularly where being seen with a group of friends carries personal risk. Both responses are common, and neither is unreasonable.
