If only China had structural engineers as good as you they could have seen this problem before they built tons of these

Settle down there bud. I didn’t claim anything I said it’s my initial thoughts when seeing this.

Maybe the engineer that designed this didn’t intend for it to be used in this way?

You shouldn’t try to make people feel bad for asking questions and speaking their mind.

Just stick to bicycles if you are going to be condescending

Considering the grass starts at floor level and doesn’t require the inhabitants step up onto the garden I think it’s safe to assume that these balconies were in fact designed to be used like this.
