@@shalevwiden7209 No - it's because city council is made up primarily of elderly people (usually retired military high in former rank) that see San Antonio as it was in the 60s. Others like the "Preservation Society (also compromised of mostly elderly) cannot fathom that new, tall and sleek buildings can be built harmoniously with old beautiful buildings by planned design. San Antonio's skyline is an embarrassment for a metro city of 2.6 million inhabitants - period. Take ANY other US city of that population and size and compare their skylines to SA. What's more sad is that cities much smaller have better skylines than SA and that's ridiculous. A skyline speaks volumes of a city in both terms of busienss, tourism and overall standings when approaching it by air or highway - the impressions last. Strange how many parking lots we have in downtown which "gap" the area even further apart. Downtown should be compromised of the old, new and numerous apartments to bring people not only to visit the center BUT live in the center. So long as the city council doesn't "Grow up" and recognize that due to their methods, our downtown will look flat, soulless, filled with empty parking spaces and be dead after hours due to no one living in the area, the core of the city will remain dead.
@@randomdachshund2452 It's not getting better - it's getting more "choppy" with new construction being too boxy, small, and constructed of the same material as most buildings around it. I left SA in 1985 and returned in 2008 - the downtown was almost exactly the same - I was shocked. new blocks were there, but all pretty much of the same height and material making the center more bland that it already was. The Tower of America is 600 feet tall - the city could build 20 buildings mixed glass and concrete structures not to exceed 600 feet - a building at 550 is tall and would not challenge the tower's status. The city would look so much more cosmopolitan given buildings at this height in reflecting glass like Houston has adding led lights like Dallas does for some of it's building. SA deserves a much better skyline than what it currently has - 2.6 million people and the skyline reflects that of city of no more than 500,000 to say the least - unacceptable.
@@juicyfruit4378 yeah well what can you do atleast the downtown developments speeding up they put down a few more buildings and are building more but the issues is the Alamo cannot have a shadow over it due to a law so the area where the tallest buildings are is far from the center of downtown
I think we need more taller buildings 👷♂️ for appearance but noting taller than our best building the TOWER OF AMERICAS cuz TOWER OF THE AMERICAS is our landmark building and so is the RIVERWALK AND THE ALAMO, but we need more taller buildings for sure and I hope the new buildings we get, well if we do get new buildings should be made of glass like our FROST BANK BUILDING 🏦 or atleast make it look more futuristic like new TOWER in NEW YORK, I love ❤ the TWIN TOWERS I wish they would of built those TOWERS again it would of showed the world tht no matter what u do to us we are still the best country in the world 🌎 and we will not be defeated, or atleast made 2 freedom TOWERS tht would of been nice.
The TOA is 600 ft. tall -- SA can easily build 10 buildings with the smallest at 350 and the tallest at 550, leaving the TOA as the tallest structure in the city while having a very good skyline in the city as well.
That has nothing to do with the lacking of a the city's skyline. Many Latinos, Whites, Blacks and others buy homes throughout the NW, NC, NE,W, C and SE -has no bearing on what's going on in the downtown triangle of 90/ I-35 and 281.
I just like to point out that Garcia for some reason has been being left out mentioned at all for any other construction or any of the positive things going on in San Antonio and the United States. There are two names that stand out when you mention construction here in San Antonio Soto which is my mother's last name now recently married in this 8 years . Another name mentioned was black which is a brother of Medina Rodriguez . She's Avery special part of what I had planned for us as a team . This started in 2010 when mom and Esteban Madera Soto started seeing each other . Four student loans were taken out in my mother's name Elizabeth Limon Garcia in 2010 . A Harley Davidson Motorcycle and a Home . The home was never payed back right at that time not the Motorcycle and blamed BJ my god daughter at that time by trail of names or something. A victim I'm sure a female as usual in a scam like this with false identity . My cousin Debbie Castilleja also my uncle Eddie told me she had to get a new Social Security number too and I've been trying to do that . Because I don't have a full mothly check and I've never received so much as one dollar from anything " God as my witness " I have not . Half if my check is $ 556.00 That's all I get and two full ones are out there approved by Government . How is that because they have to be connected inside or were in trouble here in the United States. Someone here said , It's your now EDDIE , left with the what ? Nope it dose not work the way he said that . All I need is to live good and not need have smoke love and Jamm ! Write , educate a bit further and keep on keeping on .
For a city as big as San Antonio. It’s skyline is a big yawn! 🥱
Define you. It’s because however, there is less demand for tall buildings because there’s more space , unlike places like New York or Chicago
@@shalevwiden7209I know this mad late but it actually has more to do with the Riverwalk and Tower of The Americas.

We need taller buildings
What happened to the Cadwallader Building across from the Aztec theater?
Our skyline here in San Antonio is an embarrassment
Yeah it really is it’s getting better but it will take awhile

Too bad nothing really helps the skyline...But that 's San Antonio....it's unique!
A lot can help SA's skyline but the city council is archiac in it's planning

🤔 .. so move Latinos and black Americans out side of 410 , buy out their homes.. west side and east side of downtown San Antonio Texas 🤫😏🤥
