True that it's hard to see in these photos because the taller buildings (which are even taller than is obvious in the photos) obstruct many of the shorter ones.
Also most of the photos are older and don't include the new construction.

Kill the whole "Houston has no density" thing. It's overused and wrong.

WARNING

https://www.city-data.com/forum/city-...e-posting.html

Ok, folks. So far we've had two issues where folks are posting pics that contain copyright watermarks from pics that were taken by OTHER photographers, that folks are using here. Please read, re-read, and read again the room sticky link above. It's been at the top of the room for going on a year, now. It contains photo posting guidelines that are enforced in this room.

Thank you

Both are nice. But Houston has better diversity in buildings, and taller buildings, so Houston.
