Yep, that's one of the reasons. Usually though they just ask "Why" you want to know. Usually if you're straight up with them about it, tell them it's a hobby, (it is!) then they understand. I've actually gathered about 60 heights for Austin through the years. Also some of the developers are aware that there are people out there with a fascination of skyscrapers and they understand that. To some it's a way of free advertising for their project. I usually pitch that idea to them and they open up to the idea.
