Why can't buildings in Washington DC be taller than the Washington Monument?
While building height is restricted in Washington, D.C., it is a myth that no building can be taller than the Washington Monument. The law, implemented by Congress in 1910, says that no building can be wider than the adjacent street, plus 20 feet. The reasoning behind the law is that Washington, D.C. was planned to be an "American Paris"; that is to say, a sprawling city with low buildings and wide streets. Congress did not want the construction of skyscrapers that would dominate the city's skyline.
