Looks like viewcones and height/other restrictions are solely to blame on why we can't have more office towers, especially the tall ones, and also why rents are so expensive. Our potential to grow as an international city is heavily curtailed.

The same theory can be applied to other commercial spaces like retail as well as residential.
Vacancy rates are increasing and rents are slipping yet you think viewcones are restricting office development?
