By buildings over a certain height, yeah maybe. But LA's skyline cannot compare to this. It's a good 2.5 miles of straight density, and actually the trees on the left cut off some of the other buildings in University City.
The view from the Walt Whitman Bridge has some ugly industrial areas in front, but you can look past that and see the linear extent of the Philly skyline. https://goo.gl/maps/PGZT8P36GfcFMEFG6

There’s a super-tall observation tower U/C, a +800’ tower U/C, two +600’ condos U/C and another +400’ condo as we speak. That’s not counting the +10 buildings of similar scale approved for construction
Again... Miami is in a completely different league.
Yes, in a different league. A league of high-rise apartments and condos. Though the OP didn't distinguish between the use of buildings, Miami's business downtown is actually quite small for its metro. Additionally, someone mentioned no super tall in downtown Miami. That is because it is too close to landing patterns for MIA.

Downtown Miami, which includes Brickell, is a little more than just apartments, condos and Brickell City Centre.
“It is also home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States and is the second-largest financial hub outside of New York City’s financial district.”
This is NOT to say in any way shape or form it will remind anyone of NYC, etc in terms of office space nor does it have a corporate presence but it has its share of financial and law firms with a huge medical complex located just outside the downtown boundaries, so it’s not a barren desert either. A number of new projects, such as Worldcenter (mixed used) are already under construction. It’s come a long way in just the past 20 years with quite a bit more development still planned.
