I like that this is all happening incrementally so that Austin's skyline can gradually keep reaching a new ceiling and then breaking it again and again.
It'll help Austin avoid that OKC-Devon Tower situation. I like the Devon Tower but the way it dominates a skyline just looks so unnatural to me. I actually like SA's skyline more. They don't have anything as tall as Devon Tower but they have a really balanced skyline. SA skyline panoramas are always nice.
I would like Austin's skyline to follow in Calgary's footpath for height, mass, density, and size.
