So there are at least a few here, but why does Boston seem to build so few high rises or even mid-rises with balconies? Sure, a lot of buildings have some balconies on corner units on one side of the building, but go to Toronto, the PNW, or heck even Chicago and Minneapolis and I feel like balconies are way more common, to the point where most units in new builds have them.

I think it's just not very enjoyable here since its so breezy - I lived in a triple decker - and the enclosed (but not insulated) one was so nice since you could tame the wind quite a bit - while the other, completely open deck was not so nice despite it being fairly protected from the wind.

Yes, but they did break their strand of pearls, clutching them so hard.
