I strongly dislike the aesthetics of 95% of exposed balconies on towers. Miami has what, the 4th largest skyline in North America at this point, no? By all rights, I should like (or at least respect) that skyline, but all those exposed balconies cheapens the look to such an extent that looking past it for me is impossible.

I figured this is one of the main reasons why many don't like Miami's skyline but it's trying with some of the newer towers that have been built / proposed.
