I like the height limit. Keeps the streets sunny and from feeling like dark and gloomy Gotham city. Feels more like a European city.

And besides current high density buildings aren’t building to the limit right now so it’s not a height limit problem

The Height Act is a Federal law, and since we are not a state we have no way to get rid of it. Changing the Height Act is completely out of the control of the DC Council.

In the meantime, I'm alright with the Council trying parallel approaches to reduce our housing shortage.
