It's only natural that the DC suburbs would have so many tall buildings, DC itself doesn't have any, so the suburbs make up for it.
Yes you are right. Even with the height restriction DC's downtown is the third largest downtown after NYC and Chicago. It would be the second largest downtown, right after Manhattan, if you included all the government buildings in downtown DC.

I'd post photos, but as soon as I link the photos the moderators will remove it since it's against city-data policy. Unfortunately I'm not a photographer and I don't have any of my own photos to post. If I did it would be the following DC suburbs - Rosslyn, Ballston, Clarendon/Courthouse, Crystal City, Bethesda, Silver Springs, Tysons Corner, and a few others...
Haha, Baltimore is really nice, especially the inner harbor. It deserves way more recognition than it gets.
Yes Austin is my favorite suburb of San Antonio.....or Houston?? Aren't they all within the same metropolitan area???
No, none of those cities are in the same metro area. The Austin-Round Rock metro is about an hour away from San Antonio and 2 and a half hours away from Houston.
