I'm also a fan of height & scale. San Diego, I like the location on the marina with the mountain backdrop on the other side. Modern, futuristic, & clean looking city. It reminds me of my native, Singapore.

Pittsburgh's cool, I suppose you could say. I haven't ever been so I refrain from having an opinion about the place. I just don't care for it's skyline.

Hence I stated my opinion, wasn't really looking for anyone to "contest" it. We don't live in freakin Communist USSR here.

Which is why I mentioned your opinion and stated mine.


I dont go looking for critique, but your post made it hard not to.

You dont like old architecture yet you have NYC at the top too, which is another thing I find comical.

I'm surprised that Portland is not on the list. It has some of the nicest skylines.
