Aside from the problem of large fronds breaking off and being blown around, I wonder what kind of insects and pesky critters are attracted to banana trees. I imagine spiders, roaches, and rats are a given...can you see the harm yet?

Just regular palm trees have all these. And there are bazillions of them around. As far as rats living on bananas, there are citrus rats also and no one is talking about getting rid of all the citrus trees.

LOL!

So lets just make it harder than it has to be for the mans neighbors and the maintenance men, so this one man can plant a non-native mini jungle outside of his window in a public housing unit!

It has to be banana trees, right?
Can't expect the man to plant herbs or peppers in pots or anything, can we?
