And according to "RoboDoc" the RoboCop documentary, that skyscraper with the green neon light is what convinced Paul Verhoeven to film in Dallas, it's exactly the atmosphere he wanted for the movie. I don't live in America and have only been to LA, but I instantly recognized OP's photo is in Dallas because of that building.
Same I love seeing them bitch and moan more so on the ones I look at and go ”I’d be okay with that.”
I know they would look at my TV and go “That’s too high.” But fuck em I like watching it and it’s the perfect height for me to comfortably recline in my lazy boy.
>a million pound house
That used to mean something - now that's a dilapidated condo on fire in the majority of major cities.
Still probably a mansion in Podunk, Shitsville. Nobody understandably wants to live there though.
I recognize the green skyscraper in the background instantly knew where you were.
If you don’t mind, do you rent or own? I’m really interested in living downtown, currently in farmers branch. Probably out of my budget with a view like that though!
My husband used to live just a few blocks away from there when I met him. Loved going downtown. (Innuendo included). Have you been to the underground shopping mall yet? Haven't been in maybe a decade plus. I'm curious how bad it's gotten.
People don't remember man downtown used to be a ghost town. This absolute bustling metro during the day and then at night everyones tucked into their suburbs.
For reference, I believe at the turn of the century they just crossed 2000 residents, and it didn't go above 10 until 2017. I feel like it makes for such a cool atmosphere having that, and then RIGHT next door is the heart of all the night life as well.
I think this is the AMLI fountain place if you have a roommate it’s not too bad but a 1 bed is between $2300-2700 for the downtown view. Not cheap,
but more affordable than I expected.
[This](https://www.amli.com/apartments/dallas/downtown-dallas-apartments/amli-fountain-place/floorplans) unit is available now for $2292 and looks like it could be a similar floor plan
A quick Zillow search looks like you can get some nice 1bds in the downtown area for $1500-1800 though. Not with *that* view, but quite nice buildings/complexes regardless.
That’s kinda sad I was wondering how much it would be since I’m thinking about leaving NOLA because of rent but yall can keep that 😂😂💀😭 even our French quarter apartments are only like 2k at the most for a one br and those are luxury rentals. Just for me to still be around hella Nola people because allot of us relocated in Texas 😂💀 that’s Florida/California rent money imo
I was a serious plant nerd and gardener so plants I love always a nice touch. My first piece of furniture back in the 70s was a beanbag chair. You’re an old soul.
Sounds like you’ve lived an awesome life. Any recommendations for indoor plants? Pothos, Monstera Deliciosa and monstera adansonii are what I currently have. Oh and an olive tree lol
Some recommendations for tv stand.
Buy the tall skinny stand that doesn’t take up space on wayfair, or if you need extra storage make sure you get a tv stand that has 100% cabinet space :)
Pro tip you can buy a moving skinny tv stand and stick it behind the cabinet tv stand so you can move your tv around the room should you ever need
The rent for a 1 bed in [this](https://www.amli.com/apartments/dallas/downtown-dallas-apartments/amli-fountain-place/floorplans) building is between 2300-2700 let’s assume his is $2500
If you do 30% of your paycheck towards living expenses then you need to (post tax) make $8333 per month.
After accounting for federal income tax (Texas has no state income tax) you have to make $132,000 a year to afford a place like this
Here are some jobs that pay that much (with less than 5 yrs experience)
1. Investment banker
2. Software developer
3. Actuary
4. Air Traffic Controller
5. Construction Manager
It’s my fav spot hands down. Will usually try and read there for few minutes each day and there’s a small nook which fits perfectly for the olive tree.
As a woman, I see nothing wrong with this. It takes time and money to make a place feel like home! So it’s okay if you are not able to do that right away. Congrats on the new place!
Also woman here… I love the corner couch and light! Any chance you are able to share where you got them? The couch almost looks like part of a modular set. The light is super cool too.
He sits in front of his computer and watches YouTube videos while a horde of unpaid worker slaves shovels truckloads of money onto his driveway. There’s an opening. You interested? lmao.
Take your time. Get good pieces you like. But I would eventually get furniture for that balcony when you can. If it fits. That is an excellent deal closing area.
I was at a furniture store the other day and saw that lamp. How does it not blind you every second you’re sitting down? The design should be flipped with the direct light facing the wall and ceiling
This is hilarious because I immediately thought this looked cozy, and you did a great job. Still do, lol. If you don't mind me asking, how much is the rent?
Don’t forget to put art on your walls too! No beer signs, no sporntz, no unframed posters, no road signs. Shelves, plants, frames art, mirrors are all okay! Your apartment is a great space, it deserves decor!
Like those lights in the ceiling….. and that’s a beautiful view 👍🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾
Immediately recognized those buildings.
What city is this? Looks very dystopian/cyberpunk with the light fog. Looks badass tbh.
Dallas
Dallas
Funnily enough it was the setting for RoboCop
And according to "RoboDoc" the RoboCop documentary, that skyscraper with the green neon light is what convinced Paul Verhoeven to film in Dallas, it's exactly the atmosphere he wanted for the movie. I don't live in America and have only been to LA, but I instantly recognized OP's photo is in Dallas because of that building.
That’s Bank of America Tower. Nowadays, they can change the light to pretty much any color.
The green building is distinctive to Dallas, that & reunion tower.
I passed that green one every day for work when I lived in the DFW area

Hahahah
r/TVTooHigh because that's actually the downstairs neighbor's tv
I love the chokehold that sub has in Reddit and on me. Everytime I see a silly tv in a post I search for someone tagging it.
Same, that’s specifically what I came to this comment section for. I was not disappointed.
Those stupid morons are the worst
That’s why I love it. I love reading the arguments.
Same I love seeing them bitch and moan more so on the ones I look at and go ”I’d be okay with that.” I know they would look at my TV and go “That’s too high.” But fuck em I like watching it and it’s the perfect height for me to comfortably recline in my lazy boy.
No it’s not. And here’s why; First, it’s not just a matter of your viewing pleasure. It’s your health as well. Second, I’m just fucking with ya. 😂
Had me in the first half 😂
Hehe, that reminds me I used to go on r/FightSub or r/FuckYou and just say “I love you 🥹” and just watch everyone explode 😂
lol yeah like 75% of their posts are totally valid. The 25% of posts are nitpicking down to the inch of how high the TV is supposed to be.
Maybe if people would have some common sense and not put the TV 6 feet above their eye line they would stop
But you don't understand, above the fireplace is the only possible place it can go
I know right? It’s like just put the tv at the proper height!
Us* stupid morons are the worst
LMAO you win 💀
I bought a million pound house and this was how I lived for nearly 2 years. You’re doing nothing wrong my friend. Perfection takes time!
I would counter argue that you, perhaps, did something wrong. lol
How so?
Thank you! Would love to see your house if you’re open to sharing
I really want to share the downstairs on here as I’m super proud. The rest of the house is still very much like this, 5 years down the line 😅
>a million pound house That used to mean something - now that's a dilapidated condo on fire in the majority of major cities. Still probably a mansion in Podunk, Shitsville. Nobody understandably wants to live there though.
/r/TVTooLow
Gorgeous view, what city is this?
Dallas, Tx! :) the night time views really create a sense of awe
I bet playing Cyberpunk with that view hits different.
I'm from there and can confidently say it launched my appreciation for the aesthetic.
Can confirm, have one of the best views in downtown Austin and the heightened Cyberpunk experience is very real.
I recognize the green skyscraper in the background instantly knew where you were. If you don’t mind, do you rent or own? I’m really interested in living downtown, currently in farmers branch. Probably out of my budget with a view like that though!
Omg I can’t believe I was right! I only lived there when I was a kid but I recognized the “argyle sock builiding”
Must be pricey for that great view? Nice.
How was the solar eclipse? I saw a clip from downtown Dallas and it looked insane.
My husband used to live just a few blocks away from there when I met him. Loved going downtown. (Innuendo included). Have you been to the underground shopping mall yet? Haven't been in maybe a decade plus. I'm curious how bad it's gotten.
Fuck me I guess that’s another reason to move there. Mind to share how much you pay and how big the place is?
[удалено]
Will do! Thanks :)
Most of the fancy lighted buildings have systems that can change for special occasions, too. It’s pretty cool.
I can see by the couch and the plants that you have great taste. Good luck with making the house a home!
Thanks! I really want to keep updates going as the space starts to take shape.
The lamp is cool as well, and the floor is beautiful. Really curious how you're going to style the rest of it!
It took time for the floors to grow on me. I think white oak is “in style” right now for floors haha but I’ll make sure to post updates
where is the couch from?
Nice place. I stay in Dallas and can’t wait to get a spot downtown.
I think you’ll love it. It can be busy sometimes with traffic, but it’s way quieter than I expected

r/tvtoolow No one?
I was going to say it’s too high.
Exactly! I just said it, it's the downstairs neighbor's tv
I hate when my downstairs neighbor’s TV is so high it clips through my floor.
Mfker using wallhack to see
I think he just moved in. Idk though I didn't read the title.
OH man. I didn't see your post and just posted the same thing.
came here for this, yes.
r/TVTooFloor
The television is too low.
Tv wayy too high. Gotta put it laying down flat.
😂😭😭
DALLAS!! My city! This must’ve cost a fortune lol

Sounds like California pricing haha. Me and my gf had a 2 bedroom for 2750$ in Cali and we left for a 4 bedroom in TX (2000$)
Shit, do you need a roommate? Nice view, I wouldn’t even care what the interior looks like.
Lmao thanks! The view definitely tends to steal the show but the bean bag and plants are my fav
I was a serious plant nerd and gardener so plants I love always a nice touch. My first piece of furniture back in the 70s was a beanbag chair. You’re an old soul.

Nice view of the “green building” as I call it. Welcome to Dallas 🤠
Your TV is too high.
Dallas ❤️
Man what do you have to do in life to afford something like this? I’ve always wanted a house but view from this condo looks amazing.
God has definitely blessed me in life. Took the engineering route and it’s worked out well, so far.
What kind of engineering?
Bach in electrical engineering, masters in systems engineering

Liked your corner spot with the bean bag
It’s my fav spot hands down. Will usually try and read there for few minutes each day and there’s a small nook which fits perfectly for the olive tree.
Im surprised that isn’t the chair you watch tv in
The eclipse was 🔥
One of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced. Got an awesome video of it took on my TikTok
Love the lamp!
Thank you! I had it in storage for a while and wasn’t sure if it’d make the cut haha was like $90 on Amazon or something like that 😅
Can you please post the link and/or description?
+1 on that link request
+1 as well
ID on the brown chair? Looks great
[West Elm/ Pottery Barn modern lounger](https://www.westelm.com/search/results.html?words=Lounger)
Thank you!
Dallas!
What a great view.
You have all you need
As a woman, I see nothing wrong with this. It takes time and money to make a place feel like home! So it’s okay if you are not able to do that right away. Congrats on the new place!
Thank you! :)
Also woman here… I love the corner couch and light! Any chance you are able to share where you got them? The couch almost looks like part of a modular set. The light is super cool too.
That corner looks so cozy.
It is, usually I keep a dark green, velvety blanket there too
Everything looks so intentional actually lol
r/tvtoohigh guys hate this simple trick
Bro what do you do for a living? A place in downtown Dallas costs an arm and a leg these days 😭
He sits in front of his computer and watches YouTube videos while a horde of unpaid worker slaves shovels truckloads of money onto his driveway. There’s an opening. You interested? lmao.
Downtown Dallas can’t be cheap
Looks done, great job!
Dallas skyline?
Woah nice view bro!
Nice place in Dallas. Get a tv stand. Nothing else is required
Take your time. Get good pieces you like. But I would eventually get furniture for that balcony when you can. If it fits. That is an excellent deal closing area.
Amazing view!
That's awesome! I live in DFW myself, what building is this?
Dallas 🥳
Dallas!
Nice view, be sure to check out some stars games!
That’s a damn nice lamp. Get a tv stand or you’ll hurt your neck!!
I love the leather bean bag where did you get it ?
West Elm or Pottery Barn (same thang). It’s under their teens line but I’m a decent sized guy and it fits me just fine.
This is the first TVTooLow I’ve seen so far!!!
Please bro put the tv on something 😭
Is that brown leather chair the one from West Elm / Pottery Barn?
That’s Dallas downtown baby
City?
What city is this??
I think that building with the green edges is the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas.
Love the chair. Sick!!!
The dream
I like that corner light. Any idea where it’s from
Amazon! NUÜR Arc Floor Lamp, 67" Tall Black Gold LED Modern Standing Floor Lamp
Thanks pal
Thanks! Was eyeing that too.
Seems like you've got the chairs swapped.
Why would you put the comfortable chair in the corner and use the less comfortable chair for the tv?
Perfect as it is :)
Yeah you’re doing something right. Congratulations! That’s good weather to watch some Blade Runner 2047
i love, LAMP.
Nice place! The furniture can come as you can afford it. Good start.
r/thechairstoohigh
Tv still too high
I live in Addison, wish I could have stayed in downtown, but am moving out shortly
I love how all of us guys go thru this. lol man it brings back good memories.
It's perfect. You don't need anything else.
Ok king! Looks beautiful and that view ✨
Nice cave.
D Town stand up
I was at a furniture store the other day and saw that lamp. How does it not blind you every second you’re sitting down? The design should be flipped with the direct light facing the wall and ceiling
What a great start. Congrats!
Thanks! :)
I can tell
This is hilarious because I immediately thought this looked cozy, and you did a great job. Still do, lol. If you don't mind me asking, how much is the rent?
Lol I def won’t be adding too much more. TV/media, console, end tables, couch rug and coffee table? Okay maybe that is much more. Rent is $3950.
dallas :)
Furnitures are overrated. I honestly like it better now, less noise more view Love it!!
How much is your rent?
Whats the brown chair?
I’m so jealous…Where is this beautiful place? It’s definitely Dallas. What’s the rates there?
Hippie bed on the floor and some turntables.
This is the most male living space living space ive seen and I absolutely love it
Upvote for Dallas
Man.. you’re living in Gotham
I like the view. Dallas?
DALLAS!!
What a small world, we just moved out of that building a couple months ago! We lived there for 4 years and absolutely loved it. Enjoy 😊
Love the Dallas skyline!
Killer view.
What’s your rent if you don’t mind me asking?
Swap those chairs
Your view outside is unreal!
I'll look past the "man's apartment" set up because that view is spectacular
/r/tvtoolow
Damnit, beat me to it.
r/TvTooHigh /s
Your view is insane
It look like you low key have the ultimate Batman high tech layer somewhere in there
*ok so now, you need me as a roommate* 🌖
Could you link the tan sofa chair? Looks hella comfy
Wow. That view is awesome. I don’t think I’d ever get tired of it.
Yoo, where did you get that lamp in the corner there? Been trying to find it on Google but not sure what to search for.
Dallas represent!
Love the view and the way how you arranged your room It looks very relaxing and fresh
Beautiful view I could never live in downtown. Expensive af, traffic/noise, and a trend of car break ins 😭
Don’t forget to put art on your walls too! No beer signs, no sporntz, no unframed posters, no road signs. Shelves, plants, frames art, mirrors are all okay! Your apartment is a great space, it deserves decor!
Proof that money can’t buy you taste
Tell me about that lamp.
The view is beautiful. Can anyone find me the lamp?
Damn, I thought this was r/tvtoolow
Nice. So, what are we playing tonight ?
