Houston has 5 count them 5 skyscrapers taller than Miami's tallest.

If Miami ever breaks ground on those 2 proposed supertalls then we'll talk.

And don't even bring up architecture. Houston has some of the tackiest/trapped in the 80's architecture in this country. The city looks like it stopped in a time warp in 1985 by their architecture.

I'd rather be at over 90% occupancy in my downtown than have a bunch of empty & foreclosed on residential high rises in my skyline any day.

So, that is your opinion. You vote for Houston, I vote for Miami. Goodbye.

Miami built on speculation, Houston builds only when office space is at or near full capacity. Smart if you ask me.

Hooray for empty condos in your skyline & being in one of the worst real estate disasters in the country ever in history!

Hats off to Miami.

"Mini" Chicago it is not, 3rd tallest US skyline it is...

It's nowhere near a mini Chicago. Anyone with sense knows that.
Not many in Houston support the rebel flag. Man you're worse than some.
