Earthquake --- I'm no engineer, but if guy-wires can support communications towers, why can't guy-wires support the building in the event of an earthquake too?

as for the city response, they'll prolley be against the idea of going overtop of the view cones... but I'm sure if the developer spins it the right way, plus enough positive feedback from people such as ourselves to combat the NIMBYs, it can be pulled off.
