Hi there, I saw this one growing in an empty block yesterday.

The tree height is around the 15 metre mark and has a weeping but ragged/tiered conical shape.
The branches pictured are about the same angle as they hang on the tree.

Any Conifer Sleuths out there that can I.D. it? I have not a clue
I hope the pics can help with the I.D. process

Possibly Cupressocyparis leylandii 'Leighton Green' At any rate I'm pretty sure it's a cypress.

More wanted please

Hamckimoto may be right. I have a tall juniper in my yard with the same cones. Apparently it is Juniper Skyrocket. Not sure what the scientific name is though.

I have one of these growing in my yard. It is about 10 metres tall but I always wondered if they would be any good for bonsai. Currently I have two "seedlings" growing on and they appear to be easy to trim.
Has anyone tried them?

Does not look like a skyrocket. I will post a pic of the tree soon.

From the cone it's Cypress, possibly Cupressus macrocarpa from your description.

Cheers,
Mojo

Cupressus arizonica would be my guess.

Finally......
Here it is in all of its weepy glory, does this narrow the scope for ID?

Try Nootka cypress or Chinese weeping cypress. Pretty common.

Looks like Bodhi has it. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula' - Nootka False Cypress

Looks like a good crack at the target to me
