Understood! You'd think that flight paths would affect where the towers would be built plus what the height limits would be for each area, but Downtown FT Lauderdale could build so many supertalls and the flight paths don't intersect in Downtown at all since the runways are 5 mies south of Downtown and are parallel E to W, but the FAA has a short sighted approach as to where supertalls and skyscrapers overall are built.
This also means that a city like Hialeah (
https://qr.ae/pKqV0S), which is a lot closer to MIA than the cities of Miami and Ft Lauderdale, could build a few skyscrapers in it's downtown solely because the runways are parallel E to W due to not having flight patterns along it's downtown.

It's one thing to restrict Downtown Miami of having even taller supertalls, since planes are supposed 3K-4K ft over Downtown Miami before takeoffs and landings, but to limit what the height of skyscrapers are in Downtown Ft Lauderdale is once again short sighted.
