Therefore, making it far more difficult to develop affordable housing. Limiting the development potential of a piece of land in a desired area is only going to drive up the value of surrounding property not encumbered by said restrictions.
The proposed CVC which would run-through the Breckenridge tract is just ludicrous!

"Uncapped heights" is not the problem. It's FAR restrictions. It does not matter that you can build a tower as tall as you want it when the city limits you to a maximum of let's say 500,000 SF, as an example.
FAR limits are what really place a "cap" on height in an "uncapped" area.
