If you've eaten squab, you've eaten pigeon. It's a bird, like chicken. Seriously, what's the difference?Who would want to eat a pigeon???
I would dump!

Toronto only does balconies at all is because investors buying units off plans think they need them. Very few want to stand on a windy diving board 230m in the air...I love balconies but if it's not big enough to use as an outdoor room, it becomes borderline useless. One of the reasons I bought in my building was that the condo came with a usable balcony. I've got 21 plants out there, a table for 4 at one end, a table for 2 at the other end, and they'd still be room for another 8 people. And with solid concrete walls, you never feel like you're dangling off the side of the building. It's a proper outdoor room. In a city with a dearth of clean safe green space, living in a high-rise with a usable balcony is invaluable. I spend a couple hours out there every day, 7-8 months/year.
If they're going to bother building balconies, design them so they're usable space.
If you’ve eaten beef, you’ve eaten cow. It’s a mammal, like a cat. Seriously, what’s the difference?If you've eaten squab, you've eaten pigeon. It's a bird, like chicken. Seriously, what's the difference?
It's actually both on Metrotown. It features folding glass to enclose the outdoor space as semi-indoor. You can see it all accordion-ed up on the right side of the image.That's a really nice outdoor space, but that apartment would be a whole lot better if it was all inside space! The difference between a 1168 sf apartment and a 1900 sf apartment is the difference between being able to have one kid, or have 2-3 kids.
