I just don't see any beauty in L.A.'s skyline.

Dallas


Los Angeles


In my opinion Dallas looks MUCH better.

To each is own. I think LA's skyline beats up Dallas'.

Dallas' skyline looks like there are a lot of buildings competing with each other. I like it at night, but it looks like a tangling mess at night. I like how Houston's skyline is symmetric, and the buildings flow around the US Bank Tower in LA.

It is kind of interesting for someone who just got his driver's license to criticize Dallas traffic over Houston -- how much driving did you do in Houston?

Enough to know old timer. Houston and Dallas traffic are both bad and not too far apart. Stop acting like Dallas is a walk in the park.

Dallas has a visually striking skyline for sure. And don't consider this a slam against Houston or LA. It's just my opinion of Dallas' skyline.

Both LA and houston hence seem less visually appealing, because of their severe lacking in unique and interesting structures that usually come via the need to impress. Even the bank of america plaza looks like a work of art compared to some of those buildings i've seen in their skylines, which isn't good. LA and houston's skyline at night is another story... it's almost as if you can only differentiate buildings by height once night falls. Houston' skylines are also too spread out for such a small density of buildings.



Every knows that houston has more building density than dallas...however everyone also knows that dallas beats houston in the visual department.



Houston looks much better at daytime than nightime though.
