Penn Quarter looks so much better than it used to! I worked there in the 1990s (just two blocks from your street view) and it was somewhat rundown back then. Then they put in the Verizon Center (then the MCI Center) and it has only grown since then. I haven't been there in a few years; I need to go check it out again. I miss it!

View from Niagara Street which is being re-done from downtown to Riverside - nearly every vacant industrial and warehouse, some dating back to the 1850s, is in the process of being rehabbed and converted to apartments or commercial. Shoreline apartments are being redeveloped into more urban-style architecture. (none of the changes are on google street view yet)
Theater District https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8912...7i13312!8i6656
Main street reopening to traffic, nearly every property (dating as early as 1840s) has been or is in the process of redevelopment with apartments and businesses. (street view hasn't caught up with all of the changes yet)
Grant-Ferry https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9209...7i13312!8i6656
Former Italian neighborhood, now hub of immigrant and refugee community. This block hasn't changed much, but incredible increase in people and new businesses primarily in the last 2 or 3 years (street view shows none of the changes yet)

Houston is in the process of adding 18,000 apartments to its (formerly) barren downtown, along with expansion of its rail, hotels, parks, and other amenities.

DC has changed dramatically since the 1990s. Run-down areas that even used to be close to downtown back then no longer exist.
You may remember what Columbia Heights used to look like. This is the new Columbia Heights:
*Downtown Dallas & Deep Ellum, especially in the areas around Elm, Main, and Commerce, are arguably the most structurally dense parts of the city and in the entire DFW metro. Uptown has the highest population density in DFW.
Where downtown meets Heartside near Division and Fulton. This street view was taken in August 2015, Missing from this view are a couple buildings that have gone vertical making it more filled in than the pictures show. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9637...7i13312!8i6656
The "Heart Side" neighborhood is pretty urban too.....doing a 360 view from this point
