With a US population of 355 million by 2040, the estimate, all those folks have to live somewhere.

Maybe at some point in the next few years, the U.S. will undergo a massive building boom that will transform all of our cities and be record shattering!

Are you old enough to remember Theodoric of York saying "NNAAAAHHHH!!!!!"?

For the record, Ansley Park is not included in the Midtown neighborhood, and I don't see what's so different about the lowrise side of Midtown east of Ansley versus some other areas nearby Uptown Dallas/Oak Lawn. They actually look quite similar.

Those areas are in Midtown, that's why I mentioned them. Those compared to West Village or State-Thomas (residential vs residential), the ones in Dallas have better pedestrian/urban infrastructure and transit connectivity.

In all seriousness, this isn't a bad looking town center for a city of 24k people:

This garish billboard completes it, IMO:

But yes, nicer downtown than plenty of much larger "cities" in the DFW metroplex.
