I think DTLA is mostly outside of FAA height restrictions, isn't it? Most of the flight paths for LAX are several miles south for arriving planes (around Slauson?) and maybe some paths well to the north for some others. So height restrictions are city decisions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here in San Diego, downtown buildings are limited to 500' by FAA rules because Lindbergh Field is so close, making for a "tabletop" skyline. Would be nice to have a few 600-700 footers here. Probably won't happen unless the airport moved.
