There are also plenty of historic architecture in non-legacy cities and the healthiest of them have more architectural variety overall. It's just a preference. Nothing to get defensive about.

"Plenty"? Disagree with that, and the healthiest non-legacy cities do not have more architectural variety overall than legacy cities. That's simply not a factual statement. Anybody who thinks that a city like Houston has more architectural variety than a city like DC needs their eyesight checked.
No, it does not have more architectural variety. I never said that, don't put words in my mouth. DC is mostly older buildings though with a few modern ones. Houston has mostly modern buildings with a few historical ones.
Here is how I describe "plenty" and no, this isn't all we have, I'm just highlighting a few.
You literally said that the healthiest non-legacy cities have more architectural variety overall.
Houston is not the best example of that.
Healthiest legacy cities like Chicago, NYC, SF would have the best variety.
Well, I never said that it was Houston who had the most variety, just some variety. I would look at Miami for being more even between new and old. I disagree with the cities you posted. NYC and San Fran are mostly older buildings not mostly modern buildings. Only Chicago would be more even. Again, just my preference, no reason to have a heart attack.

I've had too many beers to have a heart attack. Chicago would be the best representation of old and new as far as my experiences so far. Miami would be a no for me. But you didn't say mostly new, you said most variety.

You obviously know nothing about DC and other healthy legacy cities if you think they only have "a few" modern buildings. DC, NYC, Chicago, etc. clearly have much more architectural variety than the likes of Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, etc. Either one knows little about the architectural legacy of these cities or is extremely biased to say otherwise.

It s just too bad Houston did not SAVE MORE OF OLD HOUSTON. It had finally is getting what is left SAVED? Well more then was the Raze and let stand attitude or just for parking.
The thing is ASIAN cities do FAR MORE INTERESTING NEW buildings then US cities today. Much of HOUSTON especially. The basic BOC as cheapest to build still rules. Ironically, a city like Dubai has much of its buildings with American Architects. They can do more then a glass box there.
Their tallest building in the world has the same Architecture Firm as 3 of Chicago's super-talks. The 1968 John Hancock building, 1974's Sears (Willis) Tower and 2009's Trump Tower. The Trump Tower has aspects like the tallest Big brother with the same parents as it is in Dubai.
So a Houston NOT saving more of OLD HOUSTON. Has Asian cities leaving it in the DUST IN NEW ARCHITECTURE that Houston thought would make it into a MODERN METROPOLIS in its core. So far it falls short in new architecture even over some Legacy cities in what they build.
