High rises nodes in currently low rise edge cities would include Tyson’s, new Rochelle, Bellevue, maybe north Austin, east Portland downtown (Lloyd center) , parts of queens, jersey city. Nimbyism will probably keep more redevelopment core focused and brownfield elsewhere (ie Chicago and sf)
You may think that but the real reason is that Vancouver and Toronto don't have any more land to build out with and have to build up to house their fast-growing populations
