    When you build your 6-story tower, your neighbors will be thrilled with your decision. Thank the lord that they didn't built that 25-story monstrosity!

    With the recent advent of zoning, and our obsession with 'public input', we've moved a lot of power from developers, investors, and banks to city planners and community activists.

    Development is a political process now. Announce a monster building. Get beaten up. Build your modest tower. Public and planners happy. And you get what you really wanted in the first place.

    But if you ask for what you really want, you will still only get half of it.

    Ask any Persian rug seller.
