Charlotte's skyline is just so cohesive. It's almost as if the skyscrapers "talk" to each other. It's a designer skyline and it feels intentional. Nashville is in a better setting and expansive, but in my opinion, it isn't as beautiful or impactful as Charlotte's skyline right now.
I’d give Charlotte’s skyline the edge currently strictly on the Bank of America and Duke towers. Very impressive buildings but Nashville is no slouch. There’s currently some 40-50 towers in various stages of proposed, planning and construction that includes downtown, midtown and the east bank near the new Titans stadium. Nashville is just missing a few signature towers in the 700-800ft range to take it to the next level. There’s currently a 750ft under construction.
Here’s some cool shots that shows how expansive the current skyline is which should be dramatically different in a few years.
Charlotte does not really have any distinct buildings that people would recognize like the ATT building in Nashville. It's more generic.
In terms of modern timeless classically designed towers, I think BOA Corporate Center and Hearst/Truist Tower deserve mentions. They may not stick out as much among the masses like the Batman Building, but among crowds like us on C-D, they get high marks. I'd also throw in Duke Energy Center (or whatever it's called now lol).
As far as the two overall skylines, I have to give Nashville props for its impressive expanding breadth. From certain angles, it looks bigger than Charlotte actually.
It seems that you may have limited experience with waterfront and non-waterfront cities to make such a blanket statement.
I assume that he meant it in the context of skylines... in which case he's not really wrong.
Pretty much every world renowned skyline has a waterfront(s) and I'd image the vast majority of people would agree they enhance them. They create juxtaposition and offer uniquely unobstructed views of the buildings.

Yes but not in this case. The poll numbers make that quite evident.
This should be way closer I know this was started in 2019 but Nashville has make great leaps in its skyline in the last five years.
