Skyline leaves a lot to be desired, especially for a city its size.

^^ From this angle, the Tower of the America's, The Marriot Rivercenter, the Hyatt and the Alamodome seem so far away from the rest of the skyline.

San Antonio should really have at least a 700 foot tall building for its size. Most cities over a million people have at least a 900 foot tall building and every city over a million should aspire to have a 1,000 footer at the least. Are there any plans like this for San Antonio?

Especially since San Antonio passed Dallas to become 2nd biggest city and will always be bigger than Dallas since Dallas cannot annex anymore land, and Dallas has 18 buildings taller than anything in San Antonio, it's just kind of ridiculous. It may make San Antonio be taken less seriously as a big city.

so its good to stay that way and not change your skyline to show growth but have it like that just to make your city look boring
