Look up what urban planners call “the missing middle.” Amsterdam, Paris, and even Washington, DC get their high density from 5-6 story buildings. You don’t need skyscrapers to have a bustling, walkable city.

Now, I actually like skyscrapers! I think they’re cool. But this one makes zero sense. A 1900 foot skyscraper surrounded by Oklahoma has strong king of sh** mountain vibes. The whole appeal is that it makes no sense. It’s that onion article about Boston, so cute, they’re pretending to be a real city! But for oil barons.

They could’ve built a hundred five-over-1s in a mixed use, transit oriented development instead of this, and it would’ve been a lot better for everyone involved.
