There are social issues with this height though, eg in some jurisdictions buildings below a certain threshold don’t have to have elevators. We’ll need to fix those issues when we fix the zoning rules to only allow 5-story mixed use buildings.

@garden_boi @benjhm 5 stories is also more practical from a construction and maintenance perspective. You can use a lift to get a new AC condenser to the top of a 5-story building, but for 10 you’d need a crane or other apparatus. Same for repairing siding or replacing windows, or constructing the building in the first place. 5 stories is about the maximum height we can reasonable conduct maintenance from the ground.
@AEMarling @ChaoticNeutralCzech The two in your projection are definitely appropriate, and are how I found your post. Maybe #GuerillaActivism and #ClimateCrisis. Be sure to use PascalCase for hashtags so that screen readers break them into sane words, and use alt text for your images :)
