Here's BOTH KC and STL urban cores, which city looks larger and better to you?

They both look of similar size to me. All that the picture that you put up shows is that Saint Louis has better architecture than Kansas City

How St. Louis's skyline is all the way in the back and angle of the photo is closer to the ground though...

The distance is very close (about 45 blocks) and the height of the camera is about 700 ft high.
The KC photo doesn't even show the Plaza as the helicopter is almost above it or else KC would look even larger. KC's downtown is larger.

Here is another pic that is larger.

KC is so hilly that the large Crossroads District immediately south of downtown is not really visible in the above photo.
Here is a better view of it.

And another view showing downtown KC from the west.
Kansas City Kansas is in the foreground.

Your credibility is now completely lost. Here's what I said:

You get straight up nailed in another one of your lies, with quoted evidence (where you even attacked the other poster for asking you about this), and your response is to attack the integrity of others??? This is just pathetic and embarrassing... Keep reposting those pics from poster KCMO though, of course you're still just using the ones that only show part of the St. Louis core and complaining when he shows all of it...

Sorry, but that's a fugly city, not a single handsome building in the entire photo.
And the camera angle is friendly, the reality is that first photo is 10 miles long all the way out to Clayton and has huge gaps of wasteland where there's almost nothing but vacant lots that you can't see because of the angle. You should stick to showing U Loop and Clayton - easily the best part of STL.

Kansas City has a larger more beautiful core. KC's architecture is more diverse.
The steep hills, boulevards and hundreds of fountains are simply more aesthetically beautiful.



KC's core is simply larger, more intact and more beautiful than STL IMO.

My comment was about the built environment of the downtown cores of each city.

Both cities have the same population within a 10 mile circle from their downtown center. The original city of KCMO was only 69 sq miles prior to massive annexation in the 70s and is very urban throughout the original city limits. (MO river south to 75th st and State Line to I-435). http://goo.gl/tzfI9F
