Default Miami

Miami hands down, the only thing Seattle really has over Miami is the Space Needle.

Miami has an ugly-a$$ skyline that just looks fake where all buildings are white and new. Seattle has a real skyline with depth, balance, and a better mixture of buildings. Seattle's skyline may not be as extensive as Miami's but it is by far more aesthetically pleasing. I don't see ANYTHING pleasing about Miami's skyline...nothing at all except for its considerably big size.

Miami is larger, better looking (to me) however most of you in CD do not like skylines that do not portrayed that of "an american skyline" so for that reason i do predict Seatle will win since most of you like well american skylines

It's not dumb crap...Miami's skyline is linear and a large majority of its high-rises are white condos just sprawling along the watershore. Seattle has just a much more balanced and beautiful skyline with beautiful looking tall buildings. I bet even froma strete perspective, Seattle still is more impressive.

Well in my opinion Miami has a beautiful-***** skyline, it looks clean and modern, Miami's skyline is also filled with colorful Art-Deco buildings which look beautiful. The sun, emerald water and palm trees add a very nice touch to the already spectacular skyline.

And I don't know what's up with this "American Skyline", in my opinion every US city has an "American Skyline", America is very diverse and so are it's skylines.

Miami, compared to Seattle, looks boring and monotonous. Seattle's skyline is elegant, well-balanced, more clustered, and has a better mixture of skyscrapers that please the eye.

Why would someone take a photo of Miami from the west side of town to compare? Perhaps it's intended to influence the vote?
Miami's skyline is best viewed across the water from the causeways or from the west side of Miami Beach. If one is high enough in a condo or a hotel along the ocean in Miami Beach, the skyline view of Miami with the Bay/islands and Miami Beach in the foreground is stunning.
