I actually love view corridors for all of the reasons mentioned here and because it makes cities develop in different ways. The last thing I want is for Austin to look like every other city with just a forest of skyscrapers and nothing to look at. To me, it's worth whatever challenges and slowdowns that may come with it, because in the end it adds value to the city by adding beauty, uniqueness, and character. The capitol is central to not just the city, but also our identity as a city. I would hate for that to get lost in a forest of buildings. We have to keep in mind what's important. Development now at the expense of all else is not worth it in the end. There has to be direction to the development. I don't want to be Houston.
