As you can see from the image below, the numbers are crazy. It has Portland with more cranes than NYC. It has Phoenix with 5 cranes, yet Dallas, Houston, Miami and Atlanta have no cranes. NYC has the most cranes in the U.S., and has for years now. It's currently going through by far the largest building boom out of any city in all of U.S. history. Does anyone really believe the numbers below? How these kind of things get published in such prestigeous newspapers is beyond me.

The list my be accurate for ----> cranes building APARTMENT OR RESIDENTIAL HIGH-RISES AND SKYCRAPERS?

Curbed Chicago claimed most 56 in march for Chicago more currently. But SPECIFIES ---> " the Second City can claim first place when it comes to the number of active tower cranes constructing new apartment buildings.

https://chicago.curbed.com/2017/3/24...r-construction

Here it post 52 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING TOWERS in April and last each one with pictures

https://chicago.curbed.com/maps/chic...nstruction-map

So if it list them individually? Not sure why NYC is low in the others? But other cities seem pretty accurate?

Any map about cranes that is missing Miami loses me from the get go. Miami's core is going gangbusters.

Redfin released their new updated walkscores the other day, and while Philadelphia's did go up a little, Miami's jumped up and became the "4th most walkable" city.

It's bizarre that Miami isn't listed since it currently has 18 skyscrapers over 500 + feet under construction. It's #2 in that category in the US after NYC.

Walk score is proximity, not walking environment. That explains Miami's rating.

But wouldn't that explain every cities ranking? Or are you saying Miami was judged differently than all the other cities on the list? Maybe they included Miami Beach in the score? Maybe they factored in cold weather and rain compared to warm and sunny? I'm sure you get the point..

I'm saying Miami doesn't have the walkability the other top-ranked cities do, because its walking environment is lesser than theirs. Even the giant apartment towers typically have garage podiums. Philly, Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and plenty of others.

You're right, Miami city proper doesn't have as much walkability as the city propers you named. "Plenty of others" is definitely debatable though.

Heck, I even consider the beach extremely walkable, and millions and millions of others do too. It's "vibrancy" is also incredible almost all of the time, if you know what I mean and I think ya do.

something seems awry in these numbers. Seattle no doubt has a lot and Chicago just got back has a ton, but NYC at ~25ish that seems way low, I would not be surprised if there were not over 100 cranes in Manhattan alone and maybe another 50 if you add other boroughs and JC etc.


Even Philly based on this map would have more than 25
