Like you said, our planners are afraid of height. But also developers, they cater to investors, so our 78 storey Aura or 75 storey 1 Bloor (even 80+ storey Holt Tower) could very well be 1,000 footers - but the developers are building shoebox units with standard ceiling heights. If these towers all had, say 9 foot-10 foot standard ceilings, I am sure we'd see more 1,000 footers.
