I live in Phoenix and we are weak in the skyline department but I don't think the skyline is ugly at least. Smaller cities are building taller and taller while we are still afraid to build higher. How the hell can Oklahoma City build a 900 foot tower while we (supposedly the 5th largest city in the U.S.) can't even get a building past 483 feet?!!!!
By the way here are some more pics of Phoenix
This picture is a little old but you can see how spread out our buildings are

The fourth picture down that you posted should answer your own question perfectly.
Dude take it easy. Do you have some sort of grudge against me?
Your of way of determining which skyline is better is just weird. Neither PHX or NO have similar skylines, and one is obviously more dense than the other.
You judge them based off how they look standing alone; not by how much they'd affect another skyline if mixed in with another.

I don't need your help explaining my posts. How about you worry about your own posts.

Yes the airport is a huge reason why we don't have huge skyscrapers, but we are still allowed to build taller than what we currently have in certain areas.
