San Diego's skyline is good but in a year or so Austin's skyline will be better!

San Diego

Austin got some height which San Diego lacks cause of the near by airport though. So Austin in the future might surpass San diego.

Austin. I love the view of Downtown when traveling north on I-35 and how Towne Lake brings in a natural beauty to contrast the glass towers.

I actually prefer Austin's skyline; that one San Diego building is so monolithic it detracts from an otherwise nice skyline.

I guess San Diego, because it's a bigger, and still has VERY nice buidings. But in the near future I think Austin will definately surpass SD. I think SD's skyline is underrated, Austin's is underrated also.
