Honestly, I feel like most condo owners "want" balconies, but don't end up using them. Obviously there is a decent size population that do actually utilize their balconies and go on them regularly -- but in my building, probably only 20% of people even go on their balcony one per month.
Though, all else being the same, I think balconies look worse than not.

I also do like the amount of street-level interaction this one will theoretically have. Certainly more than 70 Rainey, or Millenium/Camden. Particularly how it is a couple of floors, versus the majority of others where there is one floor, then a bulky parking podium. Perhaps it's because it looks like this will have less overall parking per unit than 70 rainey/others.
