Exactly ... that points been made over and over again but from street level height really becomes irrelevant once you get over 50 stories or so - particularly with glass structures.
New York is a good example, they really do not have too many 300m+ buildings at all compared to some Asian cities. You really only appreciate the giant 300m+ buildings when their isolated and on their own. If you've ever seen some of these beasts in person they really give off a tower in the park impression! I'm not kidding at all! They're usually built with sprawling bases and are no where near other buildings.
Anyway, regarding the comment about Mississauga, last time I checked Absolute was what 160m+ so maybe you mean Markham ...
