50+ stories is significantly less than the difference between my altitude and the altitude of many perfectly happy civilisations.
The reason windows don't open is that there are significant issues with cooling and regulating air pressure in a building that large. It has little to do with anything like oxygen concentration or even temperature.
- snowwrestler 14y agoThe issue with tall buildings is not absolute altitude, the issue is elevation above the local boundary condition in the atmosphere.
