Of the two fairly good sized cities, which one has the better skyline? I think that San Francisco has the better skyline in this one. How about you?

No contest. SF.

Boston is just not a skyline city. Some great views but not typical "skyline" in the sense that makes people on this forum's pants get tighter.

Hands down SF.

Street level you can at least have a discussion, but skyline wise SF.

All I know is that these are two of my three favorite cities in America.

Boston has a fine skyline.

Both are incredible from street level!

I had to go with San Francisco. Boston's skyline just can't compare to this:

No. Boston sits on the Eastern coastal plain so it doesn't have the dramatic setting of SF.
We also don't get the rumblers that that beauty can be attributed to.

Default Frisco
San Francisco, but viewing the Boston skyline from the water is a very pretty sight.
