I hate to agree with you. Arabia and Asia seem to be where all the truly awe-inspiring construction projects are happening these days while American cities age, depopulate and slowly turn into slums.
Even Dallas, which has been doing ok and is still building up, is only building smaller buildings these days. They are decent, but not more than 20-30 stories it seems. Certainly nothing as nice as during the 80’s build up.
It makes me sad that we’re in such a bad situation and people have kinda given up in general in this generation.
