I was like, dude, if you account all the towers in Texas it wouldn't even reach half of what NYC has. Austin would only merely rival Dallas in 10 years.

Yeah - as a former NYer there really isn't another place on Earth that comes close when it comes to Skyscrapers. I moved back home to Austin ~4 years ago and last time I was in NYC (Feb 2020) the city is already shockingly different looking skyline.
What is crazy to me is if Austin gets all the proposed buildings constructed at their current height (big if) - we start moving into the just a little smaller than Dallas/Houston/Atlanta conversation and into the Seattle/San Fran skyline size and well well clear of cities like Charlotte and Denver.. Bonkers for a city the size of Austin. I mean, we're 20 years removed from Corpus having a taller building than us
