A practical example of pitfalls with high-rise condos is where there's a swimming pool inside the condo structure.

There are a fair number of high-rise condos being built in Soma right now, and several more than are planned.

Mayor Bill White, for one, is trying to stop construction of a 23-story high-rise in a neighborhood of single-family houses.
