Not too suprising - both business districts that only took on something resembling their current form in the period from the mid-1970s to present, so it's not surprising the architecture would be very similar.

Largely a function of whether a viewpoint is aligned to DT Houston's street grid. The skyline doesn't look as thick if there are perfectly spaced gaps between buildings, from certain diagonals it looks like a solid mass of built density.
