I seem to remember somebody posted an analysis here that scrutinized the skyscraper construction issue more closely. It had something to do with the median floor plate size, or something to that effect. I do agree regulation has had some negative impact, but there are other challenges as well. The author uses nuclear power plants as an example as well. I think that’s somewhat of a weak argument— Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the shutdown of SONGS (owing to unimaginably high fixed capital costs needed to continue operations) have all driven down the popularity of nuclear energy. Oh, and Fukushima. Edit: the analysis was also done by Brian Potter. https://www.construction-physics.com/p/which-city-builds-skyscrapers-the https://www.construction-physics.com/p/which-city-builds-sky...
