Nobody is even forcing tastes on anyone, the fact is that the first reason for the preference of a taller building was because of the same pattern buildings in Abuja are styled in, which is just clutter. Posting pictures of Cathedrals to counter my point of "can you think of an iconic building that isn't tall" (that's what I wrote, so please quote me correctly) purposely ignores the context, or at least I hope it does. That would be the equivalent of posting pictures of American yellow school buses if I asked if anyone has seen an iconic car that isn't slim....when we're talking about a fast car that is being manufactured.
