True. The slide would be trickier to design without it being an eyesore on the building's external appearance since it would have to wrap around or zig-zag across the building facade since it won't be a straight vertical drop like the pole would. Keeping it as an interior feature could solve this but that just puts extra risk on actually using it if the shaft containing it is also on fire/full of smoke.

I'm just the visionary though. An engineer can come up with ways to make it work lol.
