I'm sure developers would want to have their cake and eat it too by selling bigger AND more units.

We may indeed get taller residential buildings but commercial office buildings are how you get to 700 footers, 800 footers, and taller.
What would you bet on happening first? A 1,000 foot residential building or a 1,000 foot commercial tower? Or even 750 feet? Not easy to decide.
