That's great, but the only structure in Austin that has anything to do with the residents in the rest of the state is the Capitol; the Austin skyline means nothing to me, and I guarantee if it was the other way around and the Dallas skyline had been chosen, Austinites would be all wound up in a tizzy over it.
I am of the feeling that it should not be a skyline at all; not Austin, Dallas, Houston or any other city for that matter. It should be something that represents all of Texas, from El Paso to Texakana and everything in between. There are people living in the extreme areas of the state who have never even been to Austin and never will go; the city's skyline is not even recognizable to some of these people.
Now I am not looking to stir up any ire, but with all due respect many (not all,
many) residents of the city of Austin come across as having a bit of a superiority complex, being so quick to crow about how everything is better in Austin and the Hill Country. This whole silly mess is simply more fuel to the fire.
