I try not to say never but Vancouver would
never consider a super-tall because of the ridiculous height restrictions
(even though the city has one of the best business cases for building taller). Unless we get new politicians, it won't be happening or even considered in Vancouver.

What's holding us as a country to build such towers? Would people be against them? Is it because of job and population demographics? The US are 325 people, and they don't seem to care either. Are we in a North American state of mind regarding super tall towers?
I wonder what you guys think.

Well now I don't know much about building super-talls but I think that the economy has a lot to do with it.
If I was to wager on bet on which city would do it first, it would definitely be Toronto, Calgary, or Montreal. I don't know much about Montreal's feelings towards taller towers but I feel that Montreal would be a contender.
