Yeah it's just part of condo living unfortunately, haha.

At least 1 Victoria isn't a tall building or anything, so you can still open the balcony and enjoy the space despite that. My place in Toronto I mentioned is so high up I can't realistically use the balcony for anything. It's way too windy, you can't really see anything on the ground and the view...well that's fine.

I don't know why they build balconies in tall buildings that are hardly useable. A sun room that can be used year round with big windows that can open in the summer would be more useful it seems to me.

In Finland, almost all new condo and apartment construction (and most renovations) has glassed-in balconies, with some opening window panes.
