While skyscrapers are certainly not the be-all-end-all for me, townhouses would be far too low-density. I would definitely support 5-10 story apartment blocks with a few skyscrapers as a good alternative to a condo tower neighbourhood. Zoning regulation makes it too hard/expensive to do that over building something taller. I hope one day to see the regulatory process streamlined for buildings under 10 storeys.
