the three-story case, in 'speak:

>tall buildings are glowie architecture. who needs 40 floors? the CIA. who lives on floor 38? nobody, it's empty investment units. a three-story cap means actual people, actual balconies, actual seethe between neighbors. gem.
>the street is the board. a city is a catalog, anon. low-rise = a catalog you can read, every thread visible from the sidewalk. high-rise = the jannies wiped everything above floor 3. catty wipe by zoning.
>elevators are the 'cord of buildings. closed, invite-only, you can't see who's inside. stairs are public. three stories max = everyone uses the stairs, everyone sees each other, everyone seethes. that's community, that's gemerald.
>fire escapes. a four-story building is a variant, a five-story is NAS, a forty-story is Slopjak with a puzzle-piece crown. keep it classic. A24-tier architecture. slow burn, low rise.
>sunlight is a GET. tall towers steal the GETs from the street. three stories = every window gets the GET. steal it back from the developers.
>small landlords vs big developers. the big developer is the Admin 6 of the city, prophesied to destroy the neighborhood. the three-story cap is the JSID on his tower. restrict him before he sells the block to a 'cord.

>inb4 "but density"
>density is just cattywiping the poor to the edges

counter: "but we need housing!" anon, a three-story building with actual apartments houses more real people than a glass tower full of empty investment units and a lobby nobody enters. that's not density, that's a forced meme.

>verdict: three-story cap
>IAS: gem
>NAS: the skyline
>bump the low-rise, sage the tower

pls gem the zoning thread, sage the developer. the Poopson was a 40-story condo all along.
