The places where you can get land in plots big as an arena it’s not worth the cost of designing and building something bigger than 5 stories. They just buy more land and build wide

Where as in a metro where almost everything is broken into 1/4 blocks, the land is insanely expensive and square footage is in demand so it needs to go up.
