You think Atlanta is above Philly? Nonsense, Atlantas skyline is horrendous from most angles. Philly, Boston, even Denver and Minneapolis and Cincinatti have more attractive skylines in my opinion.
I also like San Jose's skyline, especially when you drive parallel to its skyline on Highway 87. It's even just as good as Philly's, which is my own opinion and others, too.
Well in that case, Houston's skyline includes dowtown, uptown, TMC, and Greenway Plaza (possibly Memorial city and other skylines) Aren't we just talking about downtown?
Why do people always say bigger skylines are better?
NYC is just a clump of buildings with no real beauty. You have to go into the pile of buildings to find the gems.
Chicago's you can see the gems at a glance.
Hahaha, just because you personally think Chicago's skyline looks better doesn't make it so. IMO, NYC is bigger and better. Look @ the results. I think lots just say Chicago is better because come on now, because people feel bad for Chicago always taking a back seat to NYC which many are sick and tired of winning everything and we gotta throw that declining city a bone, lol.
I just got back from Chicago AND NY about two weeks ago.
In the daytime, Chicago's skyline looks plain. NYC's was better. Maybe I watch too many movies, but it just seemed more iconic and amazing. Better perspectives too from the washington bridge, ferries, hills to the north/staten island. Nicer landscape from the buffs than flatazz Chicago.
In the nightime going to from O'hare to LaGuardia, it was no competition. We flew over Chicago and nobody cared. I took a look and I closed my window. The only thing that stuck out to me was the top of the Willis lit up green. It's an ugly building, but the height is good. In comparison, We flew over Manhattan really late and my side of the plane was agasp with admirers gawking at Manhattan" wow look!" + "omgs" + "omg daddy is that the empire state building!!?". You could see the statue of liberty, the Empire State looked beautiful, like a lit up Popsicle in yellow and blue, massive amounts of buildings and the bright lights blazing from Times Square and tons of lit up brides everywhere. It was the coolest thing.
NYC by a mile
Also, Chicago feels/looks NOTHING like NYC with those extra wide, boring looking streets. Where does the comparison come from?

With San Frans new Bay Terminal project and the City of Angeles Grand Center and Wilshire Grand I project planned... California is set to take the stage for the premier skyline of the United States of America!!!.......
But for now its Chicago for me. New York when they get their Hudson skyline on track.

Nice attempt at trolling.
Lol at wider streets automatically making a place more boring.
