^^ yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say thats bunk. the "capitol" of a state who's gdp rivals any country in Europe. And Houston? oil-money anyone?
and Houston is knocking on Chicago's door in terms of population. And I'd go ahead and take a gander that the building would see even less resistance in houston than in chicago. ahh, I'll stop talking out of my ass now, but I'll stop by saying that LA and Houston could both handle this "building" (its kind of funny that we're talking about such a vague thing, though...)
