Actually, we do. It's what the demand is. People who rent/buy apartments want those glass walls with floor to ceiling views, and office tenants want the wide open windows with the generous daylight they provide. There are some exceptions to the rule, obviously, for residential towers. But overall, glass is what is preferred.

Whether or not you like glass buildings, you have to live in the real world, where demand dictates what gets built.
