To a NIMBY, 998 ft seems a lot smaller than 1,011, simply because one is 3 digits and the other is 4 (and one has a 9 instead of a 10). Therefore, this allows the developer to retain hight, while also making the NIMBY's less scared.

But I like the thought of buildings being built despite scared NIMBYs...
