I think it would waste those 9 blocks and thats a big place but at 1.3 miles high there must be so mcuh space. I think the reason this wasn't built is because it's not a good idea. Maybe in a built area but in Houston no. Look at that picture there's nothing even half the hieght.

That's because it's an old picture from the 80's. Houston is nothing like that now. But at half the height, you are still above 3,000 feet. Nothing in the US would come close.
