Good to know.

Yeah, I guess Houston had to build about a 100 more skyscrapers than Dallas due to the hurricanes.

Although come to think of it, that would explain Miami's skyline boom...

I wish the Bank of the Southwest Tower was built. Houston could finally compete with Willis Tower. Bank of the Southwest Tower, Houston, U.S.A. | Emporis.com

I think he meant architecture but I still need a source from him if that is true but I doubt he has one and made it up.

I also hear they're about to build more supertalls in CA because of earthquakes.

I agree Houston has taller and denser buildings, Dallas has prettier and more stylish ones and looks amazing in the night.

But lets don't forget we are both world a way from world class.
