[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support raising the height limit responsibly, but it feels like there's seriously no creativity or foresight - Increasing the height limit _reduces_ pressure on neighborhoods outside the core like Cleveland Park (to take the prior example), it doesn't increase it. That's because taller buildings can substitute for the ever-expanding sea of 12 story boxes downtown that we currently have, and that threatens to engulf nearby neighborhoods. And, we still have all the zoning tools to ensure that historic structures remain. [/quote] How do people not get this? Developers aren't even building buildings at the [b]current[/b] height limit in Cleveland Park, why in the world would anyone think that all of a sudden a slew of high rises will pop up just because the law changes? Every new apartment in the high rises downtown means less demand for housing in Cleveland Park. (or wherever the NIMBYs have their panties in a bunch about.)[/quote]
