It depends on the vantage point but even the Almon or Young area blends in with downtown from some angles and it's at a somewhat higher elevation point. I think even a building like the main tower at Richmond Yards may affect the tabletop feel somewhat.

The taller Dartmouth towers will also change the feel a lot. The visual focus won't be on downtown so much.

Not sure why 40+ storey towers (more or less whatever would be economically viable) aren't permitted around Young Street. Often people will reply that they are too dense but you can have a 40 storey tower instead of 2x20 storey with the same population. It might even be more desirable to have a taller tower in the middle of a large site with shorter buildings around the periphery.
