NYC has quite restrained building also, almost comparable to SF. The tall stuff was mostly built long ago, and the newer stuff (E.g. Long Island City) is opposed by local politicians (Van Bramer for instance).
Otherwise why on Vernon Blvd in LIC next to high rises are there 2 story rowhouses?
LES, West Village, parts of Park Slope, LIC have historic districts (I'm forgetting many of them)
