If skylines could be compared to residential homes:

Dallas - Tract home (unoriginal and can be seen anywhere)

Houston - That expensive home with subpar finishes but is priced as if it were custom

San Antonio - 1950s ranch that is nice on the inside but not impressive from the outside

Austin - Custom, New, Expensive, Fun to look at and everyone wants one
Fort Worth - A mediocre rural cottage on the outskirts.
