Seattle probably deserved it's own option considering some of the other options. But I think that's a city people tend to value typically for natural aesthetics. Speaking of which it's a total joke that LA is winning a contest for urban beauty. At least the poll is made public and we know it's the same usual fanboys being biased and voting for their favorite cities.

I'd say DC or Chicago. Both are very different and hard to compare, but both beautiful in their own way

I think many of those cities are beautiful, but I'd vote Savannah.

Are voters insane? LA has lovely natural landscape, but the majority of the city is downright ugly with its urban landscape. That is, unless you think miles upon miles of auto shops and barb wire over chain link fences is appealing.

DC. I would've also voted for LA had the poll allowed for multiple votes.

I'm surprised by how many people have voted for LA. Are LA's buildings really that beautiful?

Some of their Art Deco, Contemporary, Experimental, Stucco, and even Modernist architecture looked fairly beautiful to me.
