I think we should differentiate between office towers and apartments / condos / mixed use.

Office towers are useless, especially with modern technology allowing most office jobs to be remote.

Dense housing, however, is a necessity if we want to rein in climate change. Plus, housing (or even better, mixed use housing & commercial) makes a vibrant city.
