I don't know if anybody here is a civil engineer, but is the ground in Austin stable enough for a supertall? Manhattan has all that nice granite to keep things in place, but we've got a bunch of soft limestone. I don't know if that factor alone is enough to preclude a supertall, but it might make things more expensive.
