Central areas of central cities have often been rebuilt, usually at increasing densities.  So if the city of 1880 were taken as untouchable, the often-admired city of 1925 couldn't have been built. People say neighborhoods are "built out," but build out is a political condition. The maximum density is 1) the maximum that some entity--public and/or private--is willing to pay for; and 2) the maximum that the relevant planning jurisdiction is willing to allow (a calculus that will consider infrastructure, among other things).
