Uptown Houston and the Med Center look better than that. Many cities 3 times smaller look better than that.

It crushes San Jose, and many other skylines.

I'm about to flip if I keep seeing these San Jose homers defend this small office park downtown. It's not even a skyline for crying out loud. All you have to do is look at a picture and realize San Antonio has them beat, and I'm not even a fan of San Antonio.

If I'm not mistaken San Jose's tallest building is like 87m. San Antonio has like 7 buildings taller and the shortest of the 7 is 99m, the tallest being 166m. I thinks that pretty significant when comparing skylines of their magnitude.

That was hardly the point, but you're wrong anyway. Downtown Dallas, sure.

Only from afar. At street level, nothing but superblocks and wide roads (a Texas theme). Nothing to brag about, really.

Again, beat in height alone. It actually looks more uniform and monotonous with everything being the same style and general color, though.

No Uptown Dallas looks better.

We're tralking about skylines not street level. Have you been to TMC? Not really how you're describing it.

San Jose skyline looks like its a <1 million area.
