heights that tall simply don't make much economic sense in the US outside of manhattan (and even then.....).
you'd need a healthy dose of ego to pull it off anywhere else.

Yes but Chicago has built one, with another started( yes the Spire which was later discontinued), and now the possibility of Tribune East. Although we cant include Trump Tower in this discussion because of its spire, Chicago has proved that it can. My choice for a city outside of Chicago and N.Y would be Los Angeles, probably due to its enormous size. Also how many 400m has N.Y built to roof.
