I think it gives the area more character and the illusion of being larger than it is which is more pedestrian/live/work friendly. A dense cluster of office buildings with a small footprint is not as pedestrian friendly in my mind.

interesting thoughts.
I've mentioned before how sac might develop two distinct cluster of skyline if many of the proposals we talk about get built. There would be a Capitol mall cluster between 3rd and 7th, then a JKL cluster between 8th and about 15th
But you're right, Sac will never look like SF, LA or Seattle. And like you said, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
