It is still true where the bedrock is close to the surface. It’s only that you can build up where there is no bedrock too. I mean, if they can build a leaning tower of tech bros in SF I’m sure they can build up Manhattan. But I like the layout as well. The low buildings generally have more character than the glass monsters built since 9/11.

It’s not that simple. Mostly the tallest buildings are where the best bedrock is.
