Further, there isnt a demand for SuperTall residential either, otherwise we wouldve had one this last unprecedented condo boom. Not Enough people want to live above 50 stories.
Constraints, yes. How many building have been lowered in height after public consultation.

Few buildings have been lowered in height after public consultation. In fact several have increased in height after the initial planning application was proposed.
Yes, there wasn't a demand for a supertall condo in this last condo boom, but as the city grows larger and more wealthy residents move into the city, that demand will inevitably increase. A few years ago there was no demand for a 5 star hotel in Toronto and now we have four of them. Things change.
