My favorite shots of all time:

Dang look at that last one! The TransAmerica Pyramid and the Bank Of America Tower just barely break the surface!! >.>

SF does, and it's not even close. Especially if youve actually been to both places.

That may be so, but SF still has nearly twice as many high rises as Dallas (414 for SF, and 241 for Dallas)...though Dallas does have more buildings over 200 meters (3 for SF, 7 for Dallas). SF even has more high rises than Houston, which has 353. Houston has way more buildings over 200 meters than SF though (14 for Houston).

Have you seen Uptown Dallas there are so many high rises going up! What do you expect SF only has 46 sq mi. The only thing you can do is build up!
