We will never get a 50 story building in Phoenix. I generally agree otherwise but significant height along with *some* density (e.g., Houston) is pretty damn impressive from afar and up close. I'd take Seattle over Houston but I'd take Houston over Washington DC (ignore historical value and beauty - just skyline I'm talking). And, unfortunately, I'm probably alone on this but I'd take one beautiful 70 story tower near Chase Tower (e.g., Devon Energy tower in OKC) over 5 25-story buildings. Serious height somewhat isolated can be breath-taking also. There is no "magic" formula to me...
