That can't possibly be. We North-Eastern urbanites decided long ago what a city should be; vibrant, walkable, sustainable, diverse, (inject whatever nebulous or feel-good adjectives you prefer). It should also not be in Texas.

Seriously, though, this tower is a beauty. If what Shawn said is true, it could become a model for mid-sized cities attracting business from larger cities that may have a reputation for corruption, being low in human capital, poor infrastructure, red tape, etc.
