If the technology was actually viable it could be used on rooftops, but yeah, super silly.
Rooftops in city scapes are rarely uniform in height as their neighbors and certainly not for several blocks in a straight line. And buildings would have to be built specifically to hold up the magnets. That thing would weigh many tons. It can't just be sat on any roof.
