Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What I was suggesting was that someone should
be able to build a fully Lego skyscraper taller than my under 8 foot one.
I think it is also possible that there are people who could build a Lego
skyscraper taller than 12 feet. Some houses (more expensive ones!) have
"loft" areas that are quite tall. Some also have open areas which are
two floors high. If someone with a house like that is an AFOL, then they
should have space to build things nearly 16 feet high.
Actually, about 3 blocks from where I live, there is a new building that
opened last year. It is all condominium apartments, and the building is
a bit unusual, so I went and looked when they had an "open house". The
apartments in it have 2-story living rooms, and when I saw that I thought
about building a really tall Lego building. But, I didn't like the price
and other features of those apartments, so I'm still in my old one.
