Why the disclaimer? The facts are Atlanta has 70 buildings over 100m ... Minneapolis has 28 buildings over 100m. Adding St. Paul's buildings to the equation isn't going to change the results.
To make a point, duh.
Does Atlanta have 70 COMPLETED buildings over 100 meters? Did you check the data like I did, or are you just running your mouth/keyboard?
Minneapolis absolutely SMOKES Atlanta in the total # of buildings, which I originally neglected to point out for respect, but now that you tried to find an angle I'm just going to point it out now. If we added St. Paul and counted the # of structures in a similar land area (apples-to-apples comparison since the land areas are quite different, and I shouldn't have to explain why that's important), Minneapolis-St. Paul would dwarf Atlanta even more. Minneapolis-St. Paul aren't even considered highly urban in most circles, which only highlights the contrast between a city like Atlanta in the South vs. a city like Minneapolis in the Midwest.
Atlanta is too beautiful to be compared to a bunch of dying cold-weather cities, but since we must compare on this thread...... I'd say Atlanta is what you would get if Chicago and Cincinnati had a child together. Detroit would be Atlanta's brother. Minneapolis would be a distant cousin.
Yeah I lived in Atlanta for many years, beautiful isn't the word I would choose to describe it. Cheap would probably be the nicest and most accurate word I could come up with.

Atlanta more beautiful than Minneapolis. That's definitely up for debate as I have found Atlanta to be one of the dirtiest cities I've been to.
I hate to break it to you, but Atlanta is one of the most overrated US cities and no, most cities can't compare to it. Most wouldn't want to.
The Twin Cities are at least 85% white
Atlanta is around 55% black
How is that the same?Especially when Atlanta also has more Asians (5.9%)and Hispanics(10.6%) vs
MN-SP @ Asian(4.9%) and Hispanics(4.6%)
LOL! Wow. You are way off. Why don't you try looking at actual numbers from the US Census Bureau instead of relying on Wikipedia? The MSP metro is even under 80% white. Thanks for showing your ignorance.
According to the 2010 Census:
Atlanta (city proper)
White: 152,377 (36.3%)
Black: 228,575 (54.4%)
Hispanic: 21,815 (5.2%)
Asian: 15,114 (3.6%)
Other 2,122 (0.5%)
St. Paul (city proper)
White: 159,437 (55.9%)
Black: 49,191 (17.3%)
Hispanic: 27,311 (9.6%)
Asian: 44,859 (15.7%)
Other: 4,270 (1.5%)

I'm convinced you will say any and everything just to win an argument.
You should actually do some reading.
Below their list it states, "The building counts shown in the list don't necessarily represent a fully comprehensive total for each city or country. They represent the number tracked by our editors so far, which may not be compete for each city."
Heck, they don't even their population numbers right (i.e. Atlanta does not have a population of 486,411).
I think Emporis is a bit more legit than a hobby / interest site like skyscraperpage.com.
Atlanta and the Twin Cities are not a like. I would say the closest in the north is Detroit or Indianapolis, probably a blend of the two.
I can see Indy (landlocked, similar layout to Atlanta), but not Detroit, the biggest industrial center in the U.S. at one time that has hollowed out quite a bit. What are the similarities you see between Atlanta and Detroit?

Of course you would think Emporis is more legit. Why wouldn't you? Are you aware that the Atlanta region added over 172,000 in the past two years?
