Rainier Square Tower looks tall. The Austin tower looks like the shortest tall building I’ve ever seen before. All the horizontal stripes and blocking of two floors together make it look like a 500 foot building.

Totally agree on all your points. And if we are all expected to agree all the time, then we might as well join up and become a human centipede. I am not in it just for the sake of something being a supertall. I should never have to be at risk for rebuke here by simply saying that I don't really care for this design despite its unprecedented height for Austin especially compared to the Seattle version, and also the fact that this will be our tallest for the foreseeable future. I'm literally not that desperate and I've lived here and been waiting for almost 40 years. It's not what I was hoping for, and they could make this the tallest building in the universe and it wouldn't change my mind. The argument against this attitude is almost like saying you don't care if its a Yugo, because its at least a car, on a car enthusiast forum. Not that I am comparing this building to a Yugo, hopefully you get my point.
