By the way, the reason I said charcoal grill is that I was trying to be generous to balconies. Charcoal grills can be smaller. So if you can only have gas, then I suppose that means the minimum balcony size to not just ruin a building’s façade for no reason is a bit bigger still.
I can’t think of another reason for them. You can open a window for fresh air. And for the most part, if balconies are stacked one on top of another, you don’t get good sun on them. You need a proper terrace or roof deck for that.
