@@swaggytjmatthews4685 Skyscrapers aren't built for a anesthetics. The size is determined by need. Most corporate buildings in Memphis are either in Midtown or on Poplar Ave. Memphis downtown has evolved into mostly a residential area. The demand to live downtown is so great that many corporate buildings are being turned into apartments and condos.

The problem is the ground. Memphis lies on a fault line and the cost for building high rises on the kind of soil it sits on is very expensive.

Smart man though, we didn't become the most dangerous city in America from these beautiful neighborhoods you see here, there is another Memphis.

I think it would have been more interesting with some narration about the things and places being scene; but then, I have been a local tour guide for many years. I often took chartered bus groups on a "rolling tour" to give them an overview of the city before going into any of the usual attractions. There is a lot that could be said about the city just doing a ride around.

As someone who lives in downtown Memphis, I can assure you there is a very large homeless issue. If you look closely in the video you can see plenty of homeless people. It's just cold this time of year, so many are bundled up under building entrances. There is a mission near Danny Thomas that serves as the only shelter most of them can get. As a result, they stick around the area.
