also if you make everything huge along there all the patios will be swamped for light - that strip still has some nice sunny patches which make sitting out there enjoyable - esp the lister block patio - a giant tower would directly affect that stretch, and make your view just a giant slab - itd have to be set back. If the building had still existed and the tower on top had been set back then maybe. But yeah you make everything 30 stories along there and there's gonna be no light along there for all of the restaurants. And something there definitely would stretch all the way to the old absynth you can guarantee it.

that and staggered heights make for a nicer looking strip - if anything the corner of king and james on the east side should have a giant tower - as its shadows cast would be a more acceptable alternative, and the corner buildings have been remade so many times they're kinda blegh now.
