1. Chicago didn't have height limits.
2. Cleveland might've had one pre-war tower taller than chicago's tallest pre-war tower, but of the 25 tallest pre-war skyscrapers on the planet outside of New York, 13 of them were built in Chicago.
So it's not really accurate to say that Chicago's pre-war towers aren't very tall, they just weren't very tall compared to NYC. but against any other city not name NYC on the planet at the time, Chicago by far had the largest and tallest skyline.
