Design is more important than height. You could put up a 5000 foot McSam or something and would anybody be happy? NO.

What I M O Chicago needs, is a more interesting design vocabulary first, height can be worried about later.. know this is SSC but I mean, come on... design is KING. Nobody cares about a forest of boxes 5000 feet tall that leave them cold when walking by.
