These arbititrary view cone points seem rather silly to me. Just more illogical social engineering that prohibits 700/800 footers from being built in the city.

Besides, the skyscape downtown is "the view" from afar.

My two cents.
I couldn't agree more....and what happens, in the distant future, if downtown does run out of space?
