Houston, Texas Skyline Tour | Houston Drone

[@Flipdodge392]

Finally a video that includes the uptown skyline! Thank you!

[@itsprincejay9810]

Probably the best aerial footage of Houston on KZbin

[@danielnunn7602]

The city that never stops growing in population..Downtown Uptown TMC ..

[@dethtour]

Three skylines and the triangle is started to connect. There's technically like 9 skylines but the land mass is too massive to get it all.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Not to mention the little cluster of high-rises on the North end of Hermann Park that are starting to grow together with the new ones along Montrose Blvd in Museum Park, plus several new high-rises in Midtown. Eventually there will be one big continuous, connected skyline running all the way from downtown South to the Med Center, interrupted only for a short stretch by Hermann Park. I’d guess another 20-25 years before that happens. Another new skyline that appears to be developing pretty quickly is the one along West Dallas and Allen Parkway, between Montrose/Studemont and Dunlavy. Not quite sure what that skyline will be named or even what to call it now.

I don't live in Texas...but this actually looks like the city of the future. I'm impressed and I live in NYC

[@lifeofgrant]

it’s not the city of the future but thanks

[@dethtour]

@@lifeofgrant it technically is sorta. Texas is the investment Hotspot for the next 40 years. People are moving in at higher and higher rates. Corporations and companies are moving their operations there. Housing is drastically more affordable than California or North Eastern states. It had the easiest port access and business friendly regulations. Obundant undeveloped land for future construction and it doesn't get congested like other states. Dallas, Forth Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are economic powerhouses now. During the recession. We were the only state that didn't get effected due to our income comes from necessary industries such as Energy, Medical, and Aerospace which Texas leads the world in. My complaint is the fact that we may face a housing crisis soon due to way too many people moving here and the building can't keep up with demand.

@@dethtour oh yeah if you look at the statistics it is the city of the future, but it doesn't look like it. not saying it's ugly, i love it here, it's just not anything out of the ordinary of a usual us city.

[@dethtour]

@@lifeofgrant well houston is nothing but a money machine. People here don't care too much about the cool factor. They just care about their ROI and business. I wish houston was more organized like so you can park and go clubbing for like 8 blocks like Austin. Everything is too spread out in Houston.

[@cjasonmatthews1996]

Houston is definitely the king city in Texas🥰 Soon to be 3rd largest in the nation!!! Lets gooo

[@ancelmosalgado4585]

If Chicago includes all of Cook county which is just one county , we would have 5 million people and 965 square miles . How many counties does Houston have too make the city of Houston , 7,8,9 and only have 2.3 million people with 670 square miles . Houston is really just a small city trying too be a big city which is hilarious

Census Data and Google is a free source my friend. Have a good day.

@@cjasonmatthews1996 I guess the same shit your smoking . Rent free that would be you than cause I work . People are moving into the suburbs of Chicago and don't get mad at the fact Chicago gets more tourist visiting Chicago than Houston. I got family who live in Houston ,y'all keep buying land from the burbs that's why your population is increasing .

[@bryfunkenstein]

How did you fly near downtown. My drone just will not let me fly anywhere near there. The closest I can get is to the skatepark.

[@poseidon3201]

Good job. I'm requesting a vid that actually shows all ((10 )) H O U S T O N Skylines. I get that these are the main 3 in close proximity to one another, However the other ones rival other city downtown's and populations and their just master planned business parks such as GREENS POINT, THE WOODLANDS AND WESTLAKE. Nevertheless, you did a good job representing the ENERGY capital of the world, Medical and Space Capital, the city founded by New yorkers, The Allen Brothers.

[@ancelmosalgado4585]

Those 10 Houston skylines are still not enough compared too other cities in America or other countries

[@jessicamaylen1570]

Exactly. There's a few that's left out

[@ancelmosalgado4585]

Houston needs too build the tallest building in the world if they want too be taken seriously when it comes skyscrapers or their downtown , cause they don't have enough skyscrapers too compete with cities around the world

[@detrick707]

@@ancelmosalgado4585 and I don't know if you can see how Houston has buildings spread out literally all over the city unlike most cities that put all of their buildings in one area and it makes it a huge mass of buildings. Houston does it in a different way by spreading them out but if they were all in one area trust me it would look huge

[@ancelmosalgado4585]

@@detrick707 bruh look up how many skyscrapers and high rise buildings Chicago and Houston have .It doesn't matter if Houston have buildings spread out , Houston skyline still wouldn't look as big as Chicago's skyline . Chicago has multiple skylines spread threw out the city as well . You wouldn't know this because you don't live in Chicago lol Y'all Houstonians need to stop competing with Chicago cause y'all can't . Compete with Dallas ,La Maybe Miami but not Chicago lol

[@dethtour]

I still find it weird that Houston is larger than 1 of 8 countries in the world.

For the record Harris County is massive its one of the biggest counties in Texas. Harris is bigger than Dallas or tarrant County in land size as for Cooke County Illinois it will pass it very soon. The city of Houston will pass Chicago maybe ten years or more but it will happen Chicago is on a downturn blame beetle juice for that it's anti business.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

That’s only if future growth starts trending a bit more to the Northwest. Most of the really explosive growth in Greater Houston is taking place in both Fort Bend and Brazoria counties. There’s a massive chunk of undeveloped land in the Northwest part of Harris, but it’s not growing anywhere near as fast as the Southwest and South parts of the metro area are. Unless the city of Houston gets more densely populated, you’ll probably see Harris county’s growth rate slow way down here soon.

[@californiamade5608]

Houston has seen population loss . Good luck

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@californiamade5608 Only the city proper has declined. The metro area is still growing. This isn’t something that’s unique to Houston. In the most recent population estimates, 8 out of 10 of the nation’s top 10 largest cities reported declines in population. The only 2 cities that reported gains were San Antonio and Phoenix, which not surprisingly are the two most affordable cities in the top 10. NYC reported a loss of over 300K in the 2021-2022 period, which is alarming. Houston reported a loss of 11K in the same timeframe. It’s being attributed to the pandemic, which I’m sure is a factor, but a more likely explanation is that people are leaving because they’re being priced out. Our cities have just gotten too expensive, too suddenly. Anyway, I was going to post a link to the article with these statistics, but youtube policy won’t allow it. Just do a search for “population decline u.s. cities 2022”.
