Aren't you guys exaggerating. Atlanta can hold it's own against most of the skylines. I prefer it over SF,LA, MIA AND SEA. If it keeps building like the way it is; I'd place it over Houston only trailing behind NYC,CHI, AND PHI. Miami is a skyline you either love or hate. It's architect is different from any other major cities. However, at night It's one of the best.
SF and SEA are just dense; I don't think large or one of the best when I look at them.
I'm pretty sure Atlanta beats Philly's skyline in terms of height, and its 3 skylines probably beat it in terms of density. I know that last statement sounds erroneous but listen to the gist of what I'm saying.
That is fine, but most people would disagree with you on that one. Height really isn't everything in a skyline either. SF and Seattle are by far better skyline's than Atlanta.
As someone said earlier, this is your opinion. Atlanta still has taller and more buildings than SF and SEA. I'd say that doesn't exactly equate to being blown out the water. But, that is just my opinion.

They may have taller buildings, but I doubt they have more buildings all together than SF.
The thing that I do like about Atlanta's skyline is the fact that there is 3 seperate skylines within the city. Too bad that they don't all run into eachother though.

But then it would be one big skyline. I love the difference between Downtown(Older Buildings with History), Midtown (Turn of the century 20 cent. to 21st Cent buildings condos and offices mix), and Buckhead(Glass marvels which tower over the urban forest of Atlanta). I would hate for the skyline to Merge because they are 3 distinct beautiful skylines that highlights most of the buildings in the respective Areas.

My feelings also. Downtown & Midtown will merge, though. It's already happening.
I don't want the Buckhead & Midtown skylines to merge at all. It would wipe out too many beautiful intown neighborhoods if it ever happened.
Thankfully - beacuse of this simple fact - they probably never will merge. Some of the wealthiest, most powerful, hardcore NIMBY's anywhere reside in that area of town.

San Fran I can understand if you prefer it.But I'm always baffled why some people really think Seattle skyline is all that great.The mountains?The Space needle? Those are the only things I see worth noting.And Philadelphia can in no way hold a candle to Atlanta's skyline.Phillys skyline is Boston without PennCenter 1&2.
You say its not about height but Atlanta buildings are not just tall.Architecturally they are among the best in N.America.
