i feel I speak for most people in the valley. We need to build more high rises in salt lake. First of all its cheaper to build up than out and also this will allow us to have more room in the future (think ahead). Having high rises perferably over 500 ft tall with show that salt lake city is a progressive, professional, and well thought out city that is going places. I feel people are scared to build high buildings in salt lake and I don't know why. Other cities that have earthquake problems ahave much taller buildings than we do so that shouldn't be an issue. We just need to build them per earthquake code. Furthermore, having a balanced, high, and beautiful skyline adds so much to the city and draws people downtown and isn't that what we want.
