The rest of the buildings in SD are so beautiful. I don't get it.

Dense skylines & ones with backdrops shouldn't be the only US skylines worthy of you "coastal elites" now should it?

Putting LA at #5 with no Houston in the top 10 at all is just crazy or forgetful one or the other.

Also, DC's building density is on par with just about every one of those cities listed. Ever flown into or out of DC before?

Love DC,and at street level bats it out with the best,doesn't make my top 10 for skylines though. Same with Houston,great skyline but I prefer others before it.

Ah yes,my rich artsy lifestyle dictates my preference in skyline aesthetics. Let me throw an honorable mention towards Dayton,Oh to avoid any further confrontation with the opinion police.

DC doesn't have a skyline, so that doesn't make sense. But 20 tall buildings and then prairie doesn't really make sense either....
