Why are we singling out Sao Paulo, when this is a standard South American typology?
And why are we comparing to NA, where middle and upper class people rarely live in urban towers (yes there are a few regional exceptions).
In NYC, the NIMBYs made it much harder to build "silver" towers in the 1980's. There was a huge wave of slivers in the early 1980's, and then the rules were tightened up, so it is almost impossible to build true residential slivers in residential areas.
