It was a third appeal to violate some building bylaws so they could make modification for personal use and exclusive benefit of communal property.
They thought I just might like what they were doing and approve it the third time lol.
edit to add more context:
On condo boards you deal with a lot of self interested strong willed people who have unreasonable demands & complaints like - "why can't I just put a 1000 gallon hot tub on the roof above my neighbors bedroom without approval.. why do I need legal & architect review .. why do I have to pay for that review.. ". And on denial "hey I saw on your IG you went to an onsen once so I thought you'd like this idea!"
If you wanna do wtf you want, get a house with a large lot away from neighbors. If you want to share walls/floors/ceilings with other people, get used to their being some requirements for common sense and decency.
Did the first denial say "no, now go away" or did it say "no, because water is much heavier than most people think and it will collapse the roof, so you need an engineering report"?
