I think a big point that's overlooked is how stressed our transit system in the CBD already is. Trains, roads, buses are at (if not over) capacity every morning and evening. Scheduling changes aside, I don't see how we're going to make the CBS any more accessible without large amounts of additional transportation funding.

I think part of the argument from people who believe that height/density limits are good in order to spur growth outside the CBD do so because that's where there is excess capacity. Allowing more height/density in order to stuff in more offices for commuters to the CBD to is not an ideal solution. Allowing increased "density" to allow more people live in areas with high office concentrations is a better solution.
