What are we defining as towers. What is the floor and height minimum for this thread?

Something about U.S. cities is that its really best to look at the core city limits + any outlying proxy suburbs. U.S. metro's tend to build, but due to the size, may not be so noticeable.

Some places its more apparent than others due to everything being close relatively speaking. American metros are frickin enormous.

We tend to not build as many high rises, but really target that solid mid-density. Either dense town homes or 3-4 story apartment developments that can be found littered throughout "X" U.S. metro.


On a side note, California's urban footprint is enormous. Those metro areas are just absurd in their size, BUT BUT... very dense. Like stupidly dense. Don't let the lack of high rises fool the eye, California metro areas are dense as hell.

ALSO, KEEP IN MIND that a lot of the 2-3 floor HOUSES that litter a lot of metros are actually apartments. There's a ton of those. Some places tend to have more of those (Boston metro for example) or some in Cali.

Folks might see what looks like a regular home, but really contains 3-4 units. Can start to add up people wise.
