Never been to Austin but looking at the photos in skyscraperpage, Austin did a very good job with their new high rises. I think Tucson is headed to look more like a Paris (France). And it may have to do with some of our current and former city councilwomen. Some of them have been to Europe.
If Tucson plans to build it's own Eiffel Tower, I hope they build it at this
location . Looks like it's at the edge of Tucson with probably a good view of the desert at one side. Convert those dry rivers to a nyc central park.

TIBO, someone proposed building an aerial tramway to Mt. Lemon...I like that.
