We live in a city that is relatively poor, compared to most other major metropolitan areas.
On top of that, our major industries---military, tourism, health care---don't need amazing skyscrapers.
Super tall projects require a lot of money and potential tenants. At this moment in time we have neither in abundance, so there's just no point in building them here.
