To me, looking at nature is boring. Everyone has different preferences though. This world would be a dull place if everyone was the same.

To me, having this outside your window is MUCH more exciting:

There's a point. At least in the future that can become this:

So if one gets off the ground the East Coast will have three as well outside of NYC. Again... IDK why NYC can't be included though?
Where did I say or suggest NYC can't be included? Don't know where you guys got that from. NYC has more supertalls to look at, not the rest of you lol.

I was comparing Supertalls on the East Coast to Supertalls on the West Coast. Since Atlanta has a Supertall, Philly will have one under construction this summer, and NYC has multiple supertalls, there are not only more of them on the East Coast, but more cities with them as well. LA has one with one under construction and San Francisco has one under construction.

There are more on the East Coast. I will be able to walk down the street, see a Supertall in Philly, then take a train to NYC in 1 hr 30 mins, see more Supertalls, and then be back in my bed by 11:00 oclock that night if I wanted to.

You guys on the West Coast on this forum are so salty. It's really funny.

"More cities?" As in ONE more city? Lol. Maybe after you're train ride to stare at some supertalls you can fly 800 miles to stare at one more!

Like I said, yeah there's more in NYC, a lot more, but not really the rest of you. It's cute though how much the rest of you ride NYC's coattails, especially when it comes to ever so important quality of life factor as "supertalls" lol

You're the one who took this way further than it needed to go.

You sure seemed to still be very involved in the subject as well, even planning a one day supertall viewing itinerary lol.

Yes, the sky here is often blue. No so about 30 years ago, though!

As you said, everyone has different preferences. I find nature a lot more interesting than buildings. Also, I like to hike and look at the view and it's much more fun to hike up a hill or mountain (it's kind of hard to climb a building!).

You can enjoy the buildings and I will enjoy the beautiful sunsets like these:

OMG those pix! Did you take them? What camera do you use?

What's to love about your pix more is the underrated SFV and San Gabriel mtns in your pix sometimes. LA posters take for granted better than every city besides NYC
