Compare downtown Laredo to the downtowns of other cities about its size like Amarillo, Lubbock, Waco etc, and it's not even a contest in terms of interesting-ness and vibrancy. Heck, not to pick on Houston, but I would probably rather have something like downtown Laredo than a soulless skyscraper forest...

If you had actually been to Laredo downtown, you wouldn't been saying that. It smells like sewage everywhere. The sewage system is very nonexistent in that area, it's absolutely disgusting. And across, there is no real sewage system at all, just a steam of fecal matter in the streets. This isn't an exaggeration at all.
