Do you all think that the city would be much different? Like would the city have developed the same? Would Downtown be more vibrant? those type of questions, mass transit.

I'm wondering other things as well, as in would it still be as sprawled as it is now? Would Mass transit and a rail/subway line be in place already. things such as that. But I agree, the Skyline would out a doubt would be number 3 behind NY and Chicago.

That would be one hell of a skyline for a SOUTHERN city.

You think so??? I don't see how Uptown will ever connect with downtown and TMC.

This seems to slowly be happening. While still seperate, I think in the future all of these areas will merge somewhat.

I dunno, Chicago and Manhattan have tons of buildings in a really small area.
DT to TMC is about a mile.
DT to GW is about 4Miles
DT to UT is about 6 Miles
DT to GP is 14 miles

DT to TMC is the only one that is feasible. and it is very likely because of all the undeveloped land in between. All they need to do is start building tons of 10-15 story buildings. Many people would kill to live in midtown but the land owners are just sitting on the land making it more and more expensive. Crap by the time condos start going up there no one will be able to afford living there. So sadly its is probably gonna be more apartment complexes going up there
