I grew up in Houston and can say that Greenspoint can hardly be described as part of Houston's skyline. I live in Dallas (Lakewood), but spent the first few years in Uptown. It is an area that is vibrant, young and energetic. Something Houston's mid town area will be with time. I do think that Dallas takes bolder leaps when it comes to fresh ideas. The plan to build a park over the Woodall Rogers, The Trinity River Project and the new buildings planned for the arts district will really put Dallas on the national radar. Houston had the chance to hide the Katy Freeway (like 59 around West U), but instead they decided to slap down the hideous 25 lanes or whatever it is going to be. I understand the money and pure logistics behind it, but Dallas did it with its main North/South corridor and it does make a huge difference. Houston still has the chance to catch up, but it needs people that think outside the box and act, not just put it on paper.
