Roof rack mpg penalty brutal, but only takes up one parking space/easier to park than a trailer.
Much like pickup truck cab-over camper; can separate house from car and still fits in same size parking space as truck, but MPG penalty brutal (who cares/going to have fun/rarely do it anyway/truck gets bad mileage anyway?).
Hitch basket/tote/swing away stowage: still one parking space(ish), no aero penalty really unlike roof, weight beyond the wheelbase (good for a small light bike or something for yuppies on their crossovers), brutal on short wheelbase 240/not safe to put much weight back there.
Trailers are a pain in the ass.
