I'm all for some reasonable zoning restrictions (occasional height-limits, setbacks, spacing provisions, low-income housing funds), but the idea that a city can both be static and grow in the right ways is just silly. Look at what happened last time Seattle capped building growth with the height restrictions in the late 80s. Growth just moved elsewhere (suburban office park sprawl and Bellevue). Do some jockeying to make sure developers don't run roughshod over the rest of us who live here, but don't try and stop the clock or anything. Zactly.
