There’s already a solution, air rights. E.g. these NYC condo owners who paid the $11 million to buy out their neighbors’ building not to build any higher. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/nyregion/manhattan-real-e...

In most cases this really isn’t a problem though. The fantasy of “big tall buildings” being slapped everywhere is just that. NIMBYs are fully mobilized just to stop stuff like duplexes, townhomes, or the neighbor putting a pop-up 4th story on their existing row house, not imaginary 100-story skyscrapers going up in the middle of a suburb.
