Strangely enough, there are acres and acres of parking lots next to downtown in the Seaport district. No NIMBYs there, but height is limited due to Logan Airport just across the harbor. It's frustrating that all that prime land can't be used for towers of any significant height.

Not to mention all the air rights parcels over the highways that don't require any demolition to build on.
