I can propose anything, call it a regulation, and half the country will be ready to defend it to the death, telling opponents "if you don't like it you should try Somalia." The other half will oppose it reflexively. It's almost like the actual rule content, and how it changes outcomes, matters? >the needs of society. Life in San Francisco works as least as well as life in Sunnyvale. Which needs of society are addressed by Sunnyvale's lower FAR and height limits, greater parking requirements, etc. and why don't these needs exist 30 miles to the north? What exactly is the need for protection from skyscrapers, and how are New Yorkers surviving their presence?
