Which City policies make lots more expensive to purchase? Unless you mean 'more expensive to develop'. The viewcones are generally pre-determined and known heights to purchasers and developers so the price / cost is baked in.

As a rough example, that's why "orphaned" lots or even heritage buildings are on the market for a lot less than if they could be potentially assembled with neighbouring lots to their given potential by zoning / policy.
