FYI, this was originally posted on the Texas forum, so some of the first replies are specific to that state.

And what big cities in Asia (whose name is not Hong Kong) can match NYC's skyline? I am curious.

Mexico City? No city in America matches the NYC skyline. Houston has a couple hundred I'm guessing but still...
