What happened to Dallas? I've seen nursing homes livelier than this thread. I don't understand why Dallas isn't playing the game like its sisters to the south.
Dallas' skyline is dated, small, and increasingly more squatty as taller buildings rise in...Austin of all places. The skyline feels stuck in time compared to Houston and Austin--both of which are putting up high-rises, or in Houston's case, many are going up at the same time including the RO (two 35+ story buildings), the Ritz (44-stories), the St. Regis (40+ stories), plus others that are planned.
I realize the Metroplex is a conglomerate of many small cities that make up one large area, with the principle city, Dallas, being only half the size of Houston. However, I still think that North Texas, specifically Dallas, should be able to support trophy towers of mixed use style and nothing can seem to get off the ground. Its always baffling driving in from Houston or Austin to see just how dinky the Dallas skyline is.
