I don't think there will ever be a consensus on this, but is a good thing that we develop our nice low-rise and human-scaled neighborhoods in the areas that you're talking about all because of a height limit? Although one could argue that there are negative and positives about having the height limit as is, at what point does it become basically irrational? I think the major area that we can develop with the current height limit is SW.

I completely agree with Alex B. on the viewsheds. I think unless you're atop a building, the viewsheds that most of us get to actually enjoy are at the street-level and those would stay as dramatic and attractive as they are whether we have taller buildings or not. I also think even with buildings twice as tall, we'd have plenty of sunlight as well.
