Now all the buildings Austin is building are butt-ugly. There are only a couple of decent buildings in the pipeline. Many cities much smaller than Austin have incredibly better skylines. I agree that the planning commission is highly at fault. And the greedy land speculators. They are no friends of this city!
I don't think anybody in the rest of the country is impressed at all!
