It's one thing to have similar design elements but there is such a thing as going overboard. The building planned in Dallas works well with its counterpart, but at least it isn't dull.

It almost seems like it all about the numbers...get the condos, apartments, hotel rooms, and office space downtown in any fashion, dull or not, just get the numbers. And to the developers, as fast and as cheaply as possible. Just saying
