I think Seattle has a nice skyline too.
Depends on what makes a skyline impressive to you.
If you only find the megacity look appealing than NYC and Chicago are the only big broad shoulder type of cities in America.

I really hate y’all urban planning nerds so much
@Remote lives in a rat infested box in NYC and couldn’t even dream of experiencing the elite urbanphile life propaganda he shills on this board
City living is for the birds. Loud, polluted and filled with the unstable. Give me car centric urban sprawl. My neighborhood is car centric as fukk and the best part: no bike phags clogging up the the main streets.

I watch a lot of Urbanist/City-Centric content on YT, and they all crap on Houston. Not Just Bikes being the absolute worst. I'm not moving to effing Holland creh.
That said, heavy rains in Houston, regularly flood parts of the highway. I swear that Park Place off of I-45 becomes impassable under a light storm unless you're in a lifted truck. I know there's some spots off of 610 that get inundated.
And then there's climate change. Houston, New Orleans, and Miami are gonna continue to get massive hurricanes. Insurance companies will eventually pull out, like they're doing in Cali (wildfires) and Florida (Hurricanes)
I have a huge wish list of things that I'd want to see Houston change, but the math is still the math.
As a Floridian.......that's disgusting.
I believe jacksonville is even worse at like 900 square miles.
Jacksonville
How Many Other Cities Could Fit Inside Jacksonville? - LawnStarter
Not counting water, Jacksonville covers 758 square miles, making it the biggest city in the 48 contiguous states as measured by land area. We show you how many cities can fit over the city's area.
www.lawnstarter.com
And yes it is big enough to fit Orlando,Miami,Tampa, and Ft.Lauderdale,San Francisco within its city boundaries. If you ever have the displeasure of going to what it calls a downtown try not to laugh
I don't live in the city.I really hate y’all urban planning nerds so much

I'm sure your 2 mule town in Mississippi or whatever is calm and charming.
It's just objectively a dump.

The New Twin Towers Texas style
My city, Austin
www.bloomberg.com
Due in 2026 is a mixed-use high-rise called Waterline, designed by the New York firm Kohn Pedersen Fox. At 1,022 feet, the building qualifies as a “supertall,” one of just a handful of these spectacular skyscrapers in the US outside Chicago or New York City. When it’s finished, the project will rank as the tallest building in Texas. Designed like a stack of several different buildings, Waterline will stand out on a skyline that’s growing up faster than almost any other nationwide.
But it won’t stand alone. Groundbreaking is due this year on an even-taller supertall, the Wilson Tower. Wrapped in a dusky golden brise-soleil running the length of the building, the Wilson Tower will rise to 1,035 feet, looming like a giant harmonica over the live music capital of the world and setting a record both for the state and for any US residential high-rise outside New York City.
The Supertalls Are Coming to Austin
A tech manufacturing and housing boom is bringing a pair of Texas-sized skyscrapers to the Lone Star State’s capital.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
You my guy, but even in Texas, Dallas is pretty nice, ATL, Philly, Seattle, San Fran, Miami is amorphous, but NYC is amorphous if we being real; but it's still nice, hell even Pittsburgh is underrated. They're not Chicago, but they put some thought into it.
Lived in Houston my entire life and have visited cities spanning the entire globe, ours is bottom tier if you’re seeking for “pretty to look at, but it’s god tier for cost of living 
I’ve got 4300sqft with my backyard being a literal golf course for $450k
Take my house and put it in any other major city it would cost multimillions.

Personally, I look at the “city” of Houston as everything inside loop 610. I do the same for Dallas. Everything inside loop 12 is the “city” of Dallas. Both are respectable sizes and have far more to offer than the rest of their metro areas. Everything outside of these two parts of these “cities” are typical suburbia and will remain so.
I was njb as well but citynerd actually gave Houston credit on

I find Atlanta to be just like TX cities just in the trees and hills. Just as sprawly as these two if not more.
