I don't understand the NYC comparison either. Brooklyn skyline is more impressive than any Texas skyline.

Yeah it seems that some of these Houston posters have never ventured out of Harris county. I wouldn't Brooklyn's skyline is more impressive than Houston's or Dallas' but it's impressive none the least.

Houston is Texas' version of LA without the mountains, pleasurable climate, & pretentiousness. Strikingly similar skylines (Houston's is taller on average) palm trees all over the city, & extreme diversity all make Houston, LA's closest cousin outside of possibly Miami.

LOL. Actually, you're right. Houston DOES feel like L.A. I was being funny. :P

Although the palm trees and the 'feel' is about it.

If you EVER go into L.A. you will IMMEDIATELY feel how CROWDED it is.

It blows Houston away. But not Dallas.

Thank you, its one thing to have a hometown bias, but its another to completely ignore the presented facts and tout your own as better when its not.

dude, your delusional. one Houston poster said their EX-WIFE (who was NOT from Houston) said Houston reminded her of NYC and now your trying to say that we said Houston is like NYC when in reality we never even said that...

Dallas combined Upttown District/downtown is just now catching on board with downtown Houston with still a little ways before it actually catches it.

And plus, i like the fact that Houston has multiple clusters. It makes it feel more urban and developed overall. When i'm in Dallas, it feels as though downtown is the only game in town, surrounded by nothing but open grazeland. New York still has that cluttered feeling that Houston has

In the meantime, Houston can just sit back and fill in the holes that are already in progress with the Skyhouse and all the proposed towers that are set to break ground within the next few months.

Number two TexasTallest. And he brought that up to knock Dallas as if Dallas can not be compared to Houston because Houston is on the level of an NYC.

Number three delusional post about Houston's skyline.

Have you ever came out of the Lincoln tunnel and "BAM", Manhattan!!!!! Have you ever watched the Manhattan skyline from the sky bridge in Jersey? Have you ever looked at the city's skyline from a ferry leaving Staten Island to Battery Park? How is Houston comparable? Please elaborate.

Houston's skyline is not, let me repeat, not comparable to New York's at all. Please, for the love of God Houston boosters visit New York and report back on how Houston's skyline reminds them of NYC's. Stop the madness. I know you love your city and all but stop looking at images on google and start traveling. Good Lord!!!!!!!

Before you pop a blood vessel, you need to slow down and take a breath. I never said Houston's skyline was comparable to New York's. I simply said that Dallasites on here are acting like the downtown/Uptown Dallas development is so great because its all clustered in to one area. I simply said that even with Dallas's combined districts, it's still not as big as Houston's downtown. You guys are the ones who brought New York into it and claiming that Houston posters are comparing it on the level of New York.

I've never said that and don't recall any Houston posters here on city-data saying it either. Even if one poster may have said that, you can't hold that to all Houston posters. That's like me holding all the ignorant comments by Mr.Nifty/binkyman and coining it to all Dallasites.

And yes, I went to New York in "11. New York has a grand skyline on the Hudson river but there are also developments all over the city. There is plenty of highrise housing scattered across the entire city which gives it that cluttered feeling.

So please, stop the madness. Stop trying to put words in people's mouth and actually read what people are saying before jumping to silly conclusions.

Building skyscrapers scattered throughout the city does not make it urban. Neighborhoods and people account for a cities urbanity. And you did say:

" And plus, i like the fact that Houston has multiple clusters. It makes it feel more urban and developed overall. When i'm in Dallas, it feels as though downtown is the only game in town, surrounded by nothing but open grazeland. New York still has that cluttered feeling that Houston has"

I see now that you are backtracking, that's cool. Just had to call you out on that statement. You guys have an obsession with bashing Dallas, every thread that's made you guys come in there and immediately start criticizing everything Dallas. You even criticized the bridge that Dallas built. If that bridge was built in Houston you guys would be proclaiming it the 8th wonder of the world.
