sorry...this is a bit of an aside but relates to the issue of building-height restrictions.
in vietnam, people are encouraged to build vertically as their property taxes are based, in part, on the width of the building. the result is a very dense cluster of 3-6 storey buildings. even their suburban developments are exactly the same as their urban ones.
i've also noticed a very high standard of building here. no balloon frames. solid brick and concrete foundations and walls.
oh ya, keep up the bickering. it's a lot more fun to witness it from afar.
