I guess I can't really argue this.

I still have to call you a "doo-doo head" just for saying it

Name a city that hasn't built fake things? Central Park is extremely fake. Everything in Central Park was man-made but people don't give a crap because it looks natural. Give the Klyde Warren Park 5 years and people wouldn't even notice that it was mad-made.

You do realize central park is what the land in nyc originally looked like before they flattenened a lot of the land around the park right? Bad example there.

Dude, you're wrong. It is totally man made. You must don't watch the History Channel.

Like every other work of art, Central Park is entirely man-made. The only natural feature on the Park
site is the metamorphic rock called Manhattan schist, which is approximately 450 million years old.
To create the Park’s naturalistic lakes and streams, low-lying swamps were drained, a naturalistic
shoreline was established, and city water pipes were installed; to create the Park’s vast, undulating
meadows, swampland was filled with soil, and rock outcrops were leveled with gunpowder; to create
the Park’s three woodland areas, barren rock-strewn slopes were planted with millions of trees,
shrubs, and vines.

meh, Dallas is a cool city, but so is Houston. to each their own.. im not sure how you think Dallas is more cutting edge then Austin though when they have more high tech jobs, are the ones getting Google Fiber, and are pulling crazy amounts of new corporate HQ relocations over the past few years.

People dont see corporate HQ's when they visit cities...I was talking about the built enviroment.

I understand why Dallasites would be impressed by such things.

Lol, they think it's ground breaking when other cities (including Houston) had been there done that years before

I never understood the skyline debate....who cares? What does it really do for the livability of a city?
