What if Texas had a county-level electoral college, for some reason? Biden would have won 1472 to 1261, for one thing. Beto would've won 1548 to 1185. This system of apportionment is based on the same ratio as the US electoral college, if every state had 1 EC vote as default.

I don't think this is unique to Texas, but a lot of medium-small cities down here have One Tall Building that has no real reason to exist given the surrounding density. Most of them come from the 80s economic boom.

These density maps of DFW and Atlanta at the same scale show why the latter's sprawl is so much more egregious to me. DFW has 1.7 million more residents and is geographically smaller. The average DFW suburb is clearly more dense.
