Pointing out that Houston's tallest buildings were built before mixed use was a thing actually just reinforces my point that Austin can't fill a supertall with offices only, by the way.

You guys need to chill out. Austin's growth and changes are phenomenal. I hated the place back in 70s. I think it's very impressive now. I'm actually envious of a lot of what is being built in Austin now. I think developers in Houston are too conservative.
City v. City is against the rules. Period. You should know any comment to that effect will provoke an argument.

Making rude comments (you’re being very belittling of Austin, frankly) that are designed to provoke and then telling someone to calm down after the expected response to the provocation is a hallmark of abusive behavior. Take that behavior elsewhere.
