When I look at that building; I think about if they would had never added the sides. That building would've been something really special. Houston could've had a signature building.

It's pretty ridiculous looking, but it's still a nice "welcome to Houston" icon when you're entering from the west side.

It would look so much better if they only built the black part in the middle.

Houston is only slightly more dense than Dallas, and even then only in certain neighborhoods like the Heights, West End, and Midtown. Outside of those areas D and H are pretty much equals for density. Yes, Dallas and Ft. Worth are 2 separate metros that grew together, but they have indeed grown together as one continuous metro. They have been this way for about 20 years now.
That is not actually true.

When Matt Said Houston is more dense I think he meant the places people actually live.

When you look at the metros as a whole they are similar in Density, but most of Houston's population is in Harris and the few miles around it. Houston has over 5.2M people in and around Harris in about 2000 sq miles. You will have to add up 4 DFW counties and 3500 sq miles to match that.

Harris County alone is more comparable to the Dallas- Plano-Irving Metropolitan division in population (both are over 4M), but Harris is less than a third the physical size. Harris County 1700 sq miles compared to Dallas metro division of 6600 sq miles.

when it comes to the centralized populations Houston is centralized and Dense, while Dallas may match the overall density by metro, it is more spread out in different clusters.

The density between the the two is a difference with a tiny (and most likely undetectable) advantage to Dallas.

Houston 3,623/sq mi
