Ah man nevermind you guys are right, that site tricked me lol it says "Modern Miami Beach Houses" but then right above that picture it says "Gold Coast Residence" which is in Southern California. Still though a lot of Socal and Sofla areas look alike thats why it was hard to guess.
there is absolutely NO reason why atlanta should be second to last on this poll....ugh people here have no taste lol
If this was about just skyscrapers, I'd be inclined to agree, but since this is about overall architecture, LA simply outdoes the ther sunbelt cities in many ways. It should, considering it started it's growth spurt earlier than Atlanta, Dallas, or Houston. Atlanta's architecture outside the urban core gets pretty monotonous (with a few exceptions).

Atlanta would have more interesting architecture (in addition to what it has), if it wasn't completely burned down. But, the burning down of Atlanta was a good thing....

Yeah. These guys basically made sure Atlanta can't be at the top of this list.

i mean, overall i'm just more impressed with atlanta
los angeles' street level architecture may be considered groundbreaking and innovative, but a lot of it was just plain ugly to me. i'm more into classic, revival/renaissance style buildings
I was torn between LA and Houston and based on what I've seen I like the skkyscrapers of Houston better. From there it could go either way based on ones personal taste, IMO
Maybe throwing L.A. into the thread was a little unfair. Sorry, everyone!
it's only unfair if you really think los angeles is THAT much better than the others. but i don't, so it's a fair match, as far as i'm concerned
as a matter of fact, a majority of the votes aren't in la's favor
