We all know NYC and Chicago are the indisputable 1/2 in the US but I've searched around and haven't found a poll regarding what the third largest skyline in the US might be:

The metrics are:

Density
Height
Size

Objectively speaking, I think it's Miami but that's without looking up the stats.

San Francisco has the 3rd best Skyline in America imo. Getting into SF through Bay Bridge is also one of the best entries to a city.

If we go by the title of your thread alone it would be Miami.

Number of completed towers over 500+ feet | 152+ meters :
50 with 9 under construction.

Using this metric the next city that is close would be Houston with about half of Miami's total.
To put Miami's boom into perspective at the end of the 20th. century Miami only had 6 completed towers over 500+ feet.

I voted for Miami because it's skyline seems larger than SFs to me.

That said, SF's skyline has grown so much I dont even recognize it anymore... Here in Feb 2019:

My Goodness, that looks incredible! Anybody got a recent pic of Miami? So far, SF is winning it.
