Vancouver's view cone restrictions

 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-view-cone-shadowing-opinion-public-amenities

While there are some taller residential towers, Vancouver has never permitted an office tower to have a 40th floor. Victoria has never permitted any office building to have a 20th floor. In recent years, office tower demand isn't what it used to be. However, short, stumpy buildings & narrow bridges help to keep Vancouver & Victoria as perpetually stunted cities. Melbourne & Sydney are about as far away from the BC backwater mentality as one can get. However, even today, there are people that would have liked Sydney to not be much bigger than Hobart & Melbourne just a little larger than Adelaide. Even Auckland was never interested in adopting the very restrictive Vancouver & BC backwater approach to things.
