Frankfurt built almost nothing back, and now it's a horrid modern city that looks like Houston.
You absolutely nailed it with that comparison. I'm a Houston guy because my extended family lives in Galveston but, the city has no soul.

I was in Frankfurt 2 years ago and that was my assessment. The city has no soul.

Also similar to Houston, I saw tons of Middle Easterners and possibly Indians in downtown Frankfurt. You've got to get out of Frankfurt a bit to get to real Deutschland (IMHO).
When I lived in Frankfurt in the 1980's they had a model of the city at the end of the war. If I remember correctly only 2-3 buildings were standing. There was nothing left to rebuild. It was just piles of bricks they moved to the sides of the roads so they could get through.

Living in Houston and Frankfurt, your comparisons are very accurate.
