I think it depends what permits they are waiving as part of this plan... Will we see a bunch of leaning buildings like Santos Brazil after their big tower boom?

I think it depends what permits they are waiving as part of this plan... Will we see a bunch of leaning buildings like Santos Brazil after their big tower boom? I imagine they are keeping most of the safety ones.. but it wasn't well highlighted in the article
