in the specific cases of the 14 major office towers that have been built in chicago over the last 2 decades, i don't recall any of them being shortened due to NIMBYism/panderhackic privilege.
the heights of office buildings recently built in downtown chicago really do seem to be driven almost exclusively by market forces.
