I'm sorry, and I'm sure someone has already said this, but you put LA's skyline before San Francisco's? Laughable!

The Bay Area has 4-5 skylines. But Where there's San Francisco, there's Oakland. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Oakland, CA!!!

Oakland's skyline often gets over looked because of its bigger sister, much like Fort Worth's & St. Paul's skylines.

I wasn't too impressed with San Jose's however. Its rather weak & looks like an over grown office park with a semi-urban street scape.

Nope, not really.

I wouldn't even put San Jose's skyline up against Houston's Med Center skyline or Dallas' Uptown skyline, which are both much taller & more dense.

Taller, yeah, but Texas always has to be big.

Most California cities have no ego-driven desires to build higher and higher.

. . . . no, I'm pretty sure it has more to do with what they have to deal with on a daily basis.
