Buildings over 500 feet
All of the buildings taller than 500 feet (150 m) are in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The tallest building in San Diego rises exactly 500 feet due to restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the 1970s, because of downtown's proximity to San Diego International Airport.
