Yep LOL. The City Council said that they will have the Calatrava designed bridge.

Seriously! Have you seen the structures in Houston. That extremely ugly 5 sided building. JPMorgan Chase Tower is the ugliest skyscraper in the state.

Yes, I have seen the buildings in Houston, I live here

and the JP Morgan building is respectable. It actually looks nice from downtown.

But being the tallest building in Texas I can see why some would be jealous of it

I am serious no one cares about the JPMorgan Chase Tower. I would rather have a shorter pretty building than a ugly tall building. You are only proud of the height. You know that building is ugly....

The height is barely over 1000 ft. That building doesn't impress me at all.

Oh The building is not ugly. It is respectable. It is not flashy, but there is nothing ugly about it. You are thinking that all buildings not new and fancy are ugly.
The JP Morgan building looks like a regular building, but it is just not fancy. It is a building that fits in now and will fit in 50 years from now. Those gaudy new things they are building now will look like scars on the skylines in 20 years

And yes, I am proud of the height and not disappointed in the least by its appearance. It is taller than anything in Dallas so if you are not impressed by the height then there is nothing impressive in Dallas then. You should learn the difference between non flashy and Ugly.

This is ugly:

Do you know that our city hall and the JPMorgan Chase Tower was designed by the same architect. The Dallas World Trade Center is extremely ugly. It is huge, it has over 3 million sq ft of space.

You just saying that because it is in your city. It's ok, I understand.
