Madison has some great architecture, but a terrible skyline. Height limits are instant skyline killers...

I know this is cheating, on several levels, but I can't resist posting pictures of the most beautiful place I've ever visited, Prague:
As they say at Wimbeldon, "Game, set, match". |

The reason we don't have much height is because the law here says no building shall be taller than the capitol within city-limits. But if you look at Middleton, a suburb of madison they have some huge building height wise.
I still find Madison to be an attractive city. It's very liberal and clean.  |

Austin, TX used to have this rule, which is why its skyline is rather short for a city its size. |

You better be careful or you'll get a point infraction for doing that. I have 3 point infractions for posting material like that. |
