Nice pictures of Dallas but the wide highways and surface parking lots are not a good look.
Fortunately, many of the parking lots have developments planned for them. Originally, the skyline stopped at Woodall Rodgers. A park was built over Woodall Rodgers and the area really started to boom. We’ve came a long way, but we have a long way to go.
Miami and by a long shot... Hell the only reason it doesn't have several super-talls right now is because of FAA height limit. Like others have said, it has 50+ buildings over 150m, has another 10 under construction and probably another 20 approved.
San Francisco, Houston, Seattle & Atlanta can all fight for 4th
Number of Completed Buildings 400' or Taller:
89 Miami
55 San Francisco
52 Houston
44 Los Angeles
42 Seattle
40 Atlanta
40 Las Vegas
32 Boston
32 Philadelphia
29 Dallas

Good list. I would also add Philly to the list. 2 HUGE skyscrapers added in the last decade (some of the largest in the country), and filling in nicely as well.

Philly will definitely enter the party once Schuylkill Yards starts going vertical
For largest, I think #3 is Miami, #4 is SF and #5 is Philly. I personally find SF to have the third most impressive skyline, though. Philly is #3 for highest building, after NYC and Chicago, but our skyline is not particularly impressive beside that fact.

I know that's just a reference list, but you really have to know which of those are within the same skyline, especially for cities with larger footprints and multiple skyscraper districts like LA and Houston.
But the order matches my list for the first two. NYC, Chicago, Miami, and SF. It gets harder after that.

Las Vegas (like Miami) spreads laterally so it looks like a giant 4 mile "wall" of skyscrapers, so I give it the nod against Seattle in visual grandure. Because both have one singular skylines, they look larger than Atlanta's, LA's & Houstons indavidual cluster(s). After them, I'd put Philadelphia ahead of Boston because of it's super-tall, with Dallas coming last as it lacks the high level density of former 2.
After these cities there's a massive drop off in skyline size (DC being an outlier)
