Will you give your consent for building glass rooms on balcony? Hello everyone, I have a question which have been bothering me for several days. We are living in a townhouse community where everyone has a house with several balconies opening to the air. It is clearly stipulated in Chinese law that building glass rooms or other etablishment on balconies without approval from government is illegal. As a common practice, the whole community, as a whole, need to apply for approval before construction. But before application, this motion needs to be given consent by more than 2/3 of households. I am the one who are strongly against this motion because all the facts happened around in Shanghai or broader, in China, indicate that once the application is approved, people will not follow the requirement for a standardized construction style and/or materials. Gradually, this beautiful community will decline into a poor neighborhood. Apart from this reason, I believe that people can definitely live a good life without those ugly glass rooms on the balcony. There is no necessity to enclose the balconies with glass rooms. Despite of my objection, it seems that an overwhelming majority vote for it. I got very confused at this result. I thought this will only happen to low-class community but not to high-end townhouse area.
