Wow the memories. How Fort Lauderdale has grown up.
Weird how this secondary city has a larger skyline than Orlando, a metro much larger than Broward county alone.

Sydney is ridiculous.

Dang. Some of the best Austin pics I’ve seen! Looking forward to ~30 more towers in those views over the next few years.

That’s missing a bunch of stuff

Why don't cities in Florida have curbs on their streets?

Not really sure why. Curbs are basically non-existent outside of major roads or urban commercial districts. It's not just a new development/cheap infrastructure thing either. Looking at different areas around Miami it seems that the no-curb thing started around 1950. But even then, 1920's/30s residential areas in Coral Gables or Miami Beach are largely curbless. We don't need curbs for drainage as all water pretty much instantly soaks into non-paved ground.

1920s no curbs:

Its even the new fad to rehab existing urban streets to remove curbs:

I was just about to say Sydney is my favorite city of all time（more favorable than NYC and Toronto that I'd been to）, then you forced me to check the dictionary again to see what I missed in school or social life but it turned out "ridiculous" doesn't have any hidden meaning of positive matters, so please, Canadian, explain ... Aussie blokes need your explain ... so you are not our mate any more?

So we do say "I like her, she is such a ridiculous individual" or "I love this place, what a ridiculous city" now?

Outdated but still impressive shot of Houston.

IMO, Austin now has the second best skyline in Texas after Houston. I find the Dallas skyline to be pretty underwhelming for a city of its size and growth.
