I just wish someone had a closer photo.

Miami is the most impressive but most of their buildings are condos and hotels.
Houston has a nice skyline and it's not strictly there because of tourism.

The far off pics just don't show the density:

Uptown Houston:

Houston has some pretty good skylines.

Cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston aren't different enough from each other to make the Chicago-New York analogy.
I'd disagree. Coming from Texas to North Carolina and Florida was different.

That wasn't the whole Houston skyline, ok I know. But that wasn't the whole Miami skyline either. That's about half of the downtown skyline. There is also several skylines in Miami Beach that are just as impressive and like 10 500+ footers in the Aventura area. I don't think Houston has many high-rises 10 miles from it's core, just sprawl. LOL

LOL, you are always spreading misinformation. Have you even left Miami after you fled Castro?

When the biggest city in Cuba looks like this:



then yeah Miami must seem like the promised land to you

Of course it's different, but not Chicago to New York different. There's absolutely no way. That's my point.

Miami has a massive skyline, but it's far too linear and there really isn't enought variation in the design. It's like a bunch of office parks on steroids.

Hmmm...New Orleans might have something to say about that. They are both up there though, along with Richmond and Louisville.
