What happens if the planning commission puts a firm foot down and requires more expensive steel frame construction / greater design standards and developers just say, "Eh... never mind we'll go build elsewhere in the city".

It comes down to what the economy will bear....meaning the amt of demand for new apts & condos in dt.
the most recent example of a high rise....& a rather expensive one for residential use....being completed & open for business in dt was the Apex...formerly concerto. The owner started leasing a bit less than a yr ago. I bet if they had fully booked up almost overnight....instead of today still sitting with about 20% of their apts unleased....other devlprs would have noticed....& swooned....& gotten excited by what they could do in their part of dt.
btw, I still see ads...here at ssp.com....for totally new condos in the Evo condo bldg....& how long ago was it when that bldg was completed & open for sales?
