Actually, I think this is part of why highrise people like balconies, even if they don't regularly hang out on them. Most highrise windows are limited to only open 4", so a balcony is the best way to feel part of the outdoor world without having to leave the comfort and privacy of your home and go down to the ground.
Even so, I would much rather have a balcony that is recessed, or partially recessed into the building than one that is like a gang plank sticking off the side.
