https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Wharf#Tallest_buildings Tall buildings are no problem there, despite the airport being relatively close to them. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle-Tacoma_International_Airport The FAA prevented Seattle from having a 1000 foot tall office tower in the 1980s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_International_Airport Runways don't conflict with the tallest buildings in Boston, but some still could be taller.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonton_City_Centre_Airport#Closure Once closed, Edmonton could finally plan and allow for the tallest building in Alberta. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_International_Airport Unless its ever closed and replaced, SD buildings are kept short, because of its location. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Reid_International_Airport Tall buildings are relatively close to a runway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_International_Airport Unlike, London and LV, Richmond, BC is forced to have very short buildings, because of YVR. Its used as an excuse to have buildings much shorter than flat-land New_Orleans and mostly flat Singapore.

Airport+Square in SW Vancouver has 15 floors, but could have easily been 30 stories. Its safely just out of the alignment of the north runway at YVR.

YVR receives unique accolade among the world's best airports

 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/yvr-worlds-best-airports-accessibility

Unfortunately, the single-track YVR-Airport_station has one of the shortest & narrowest stations of any major airport on the planet. 

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Vancouver_Airport_Skytrain_Station_2008-04-22.JPG All of the C-Line stations should have been designed to ultimately accommodate 10 car trains, at least 8 car trains. This picture shows what a 4 car train could be like. Unfortunately, its only two, 2 car trains. Ridiculously short 50m stations can only accommodate a 2.5 car train, not 5, let alone 8-10 cars. Combine this with mostly very narrow bridges in the Greater Vancouver Region and you see congestion or bottleneck planning at its best in backwards BC.

In true lack of a big vision for BC, the YVR-Airport_station_Platform is so narrow & short that only 1 train at a time can stop on the very short single track station. While such small-scale train infrastructure would be impressive for Victoria, Kelowna, Prince George & Kamloops, it's hardly impressive to Seattle, WA and Perth, WA.

Being from backwards BC, it's amazing to see how several major airports will have at least a double track airport train station. The Portland_Airport_MAX_station is another one of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Airport_station , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAX_Red_Line

Ideally, this Vancouver-Richmond airport+train should have been more than a 2 car joke. If there wasn't a big enough budget for running 5 car trains on longer stations, there still should have been enough level clearance in the design for proper big city scale expansion. So instead of having 5 car trains, the absurd stations were only designed to accommodate 2.5 car trains. This is one of the best examples of the think small, because its backwards BC.

For a long time, provincial Vancouver only had one runway long enough for the biggest planes. That was also the main problem with the Old+Kai+Tak+Airport+in+HK, until a proper big city airport was eventually built. At least YVR still has some runway expansion potential, unlike the San+Diego+International+Airport.
