It depends. The savy politicians know when and when not to cave in to the NIMBYS. The difference is a project like Atlantic Yards or Willets Point, compared to a development like the Con Ed site or Riverside South. At the railyards development, there really is no height limit, but the buildings are limited in size, which is why those general heights are given.
