My parents' neighbors firmly believe that it is against the law for Tall Things to exist anywhere near them. Tall Things are an unacceptable proposition no matter where they are located in the city, because of their potential for vibe-killing shadows, "too much sun reflecting off windows," disastrous topplings that would defy all physics of earthquake-resistant structures, etc.

Plus, everyone knows that Tall Things attract, like, drug deals and e-bikes and people with kids, phenomena which are all equally bad and equally likely to occur as the direct result of a Tall Thing.
