I'm just guessing but IMO maybe 1 in 5 or 6 proposed high rise buildings get some organized push back, and often its not the height of building that's in question but rather its the development, such as the Toll proposal on Jewelers Row. In other cases, such as 1911 Walnut, I don't think the public ever really knew what was being talked about behind closed doors. And in some situations, like 19th. & Chestnut, the height was issue. Maybe I'm reading too much into your use of "tall".
Other people sometimes say the same thing and I generally don't get that vibe. Philly certainly isn't Houston where anything can be built anyplace (but even that is changing) but I don't get the sense that generally the city is against building tall.
