Setback buildings

In the 1930's, the city passed a law requiring "setbacks" on taller buildings as a way of letting in the sky.

In the 1960's, towers were allowed again as long as they had open plaza space.

The setback buildings are more interesting to look at. A lot of the plazas are so sterile.
