I'd much rather see South Park and Little Tokyo resemble areas such as The Pearl District in Portland.

Agreed 100%! I'd also add that manhattan has many more short buildings than some evidently imagine. My father lives in a 3 story building in the middle of midtown. I don't know the percentage but there are tons of buildings under 10 stories in manhattan.
