the air rights are a bit of a red herring, because if the people in the city chooses to, they can easily abolish air rights, and allow buildings that previously sold their air rights to build it again!

And a couple of tall buildings in manhattan isn't gonna be making any difference. The difference would come from building denser everywhere.
