It may look pretty, but it's a playground for the rich because density is restricted meaning new supply can't get to market.

It's not like Paris is the only city like this though. Most European cities are sparse of towers. A better example in the Canadian context would be the tabletop skyline of Montreal's mixed use neighbourhoods, making Montreal look mediocre from a distance (the fear of some local forumites) but Montreal is one of the best, most livable, and culturally filled cities in North America (my concern).
