You didnt read it correctly, it's ranked third on more having buildings taller than 500 feet. NY and Chicago are in front.

10: Houston

8: Dallas
7: Philadelphia
6: Atlanta
5: Miami
4: San Francisco
3: Seattle
2: Chicago
1: New York City

Honorable mention goes to Honolulu and Los Angeles.

Philadelphia is a great city, but its skyline is pathetic.

The thing is that Houston doesnt just have ONE skyline....we have plenty...thats why Houston is hyped. Our Uptown can replace downtowns of many many major US cities.

That does seem sort of troll-ish of you...just saying...
But They're pretty dense, not like all jumbled up but thats ok...all in all, what defines rankings in skyline?
Appearance, no?
So if it looks nice, who really cares if its dense or not....right?

I agree.

I feel bad that the World Trade Center of NYC are gone
that made NYC's Skyline spectacular.. now when i look every once i a while, i see that gap, always gives me chills whenever im there or see the skyline from home because it was there all my life.

NYC s still #1
#2 would be LA
and #3 would be Houston

Why do you think LA has a better skyline than something like this:

I strongly disagree.

Philadelphia has an incredibly classy and elegant skyline. Definitely one of my favorites. Maybe not one of the very biggest, but still very impressive.
