Even 6 X Guadalupe at 848' only adds Cleveland, Seattle, Dallas, Charlotte, and Miami to the list. We're bigger than Cleveland, but the Key Tower is an outlier. Charlotte is 400k larger than Austin. Most cities our size have a tallest in the area of 600'.
It would be great to see, but 1000' is very unlikely for the near future.

I take it that you mean Charlotte's metro pop.
