sure, let's get back to skylines... but not san francisco's boring ugly skyline, I don't want to look at that or discuss that at all. the only thing to say is that the city lax room to grow and because of design considerations related to earthquakes plus the fact that so much of the skyline was built in the eighties and ninety's in the ugliest boxy style possible. skyline is completely un memorable except for the pyramid which is not that impressive a building.

lax = lacks
Capitalization and punctuation go a long way you know.
Looks like your handle suits you perfectly.
On a more serious note, most of the buildings were built in the 70's & 80's and are boxey and boring. That has already been discussed and argued over so you're a little late to the party. Yet, even with those ugly buildings, which not all of them are BTW, the skyline is still considered one of the best in the U.S. (Admittedly due to other factors besides the shapes of the buildings themselves.)
there is no way the san francisco skyline is considered 1 of the best in the united states. what it getz is sort of consolation prize for nicest prom outfit. this problem is not restricted to san francisco, los angeles is also ugly because of california laws the buildings have to have flat roofs
seriously, what happened to dallas? what happened to all the texas cities?!? they once had it going for themselves and now its all ruined. now all the texas cities are trying to get back to what that photo shows. i've even seen pictures of austin of how it once was back in the days. it was bustling and seemingly vibrant. i hope every texas city returns to this. imagine if the oil had never ruined this urbanity of these cities what would these cities be like now? houston would literally be on par of LA, Philadelphia and Chicago in terms of urbanity. dallas would be right behind and austin and san antonio would be comparable to the likes of seattle and san francisco.

... there are more cities in Texas than just those three.
Besides, it's not just Texas cities trying to get people to move back into the city.
I know Atlanta has their plans. Oklahoma City is trying....
yup, it sucks. i wonder though, why did this only happen with southern cities? i've not bothered to look into it.
cars became popular in the 1940's the southern cities had not boomed yet. The North eastern ones were already developed. LA was halfway in halfway out.
