I think I'm gonna go with Asheville here. Better looking natural scenery.
Northern Dallas (I-635/Dalls North Tollway) or Las Colinas District (Irving, TX)?
I'll go with Las Colinas. It looks a little more dense with those apartments, and I like how that area has a lake within that Jerry Jones(yep, owner of the Dallas Cowboys was behind this) development. Hopefully a few more distinctive buildings are built, around there, as I think this new development has potential to become even nicer. While there are a few nice buildings near I-635 and Metro North Tollway, I like the overall appearance of the Las Colinas buildings better. The apartments and the lake, put that one over the top.
And a few posts back to when jjbradley talked about Mobile, I agree that this city's skyline has potential to become better if like he/she said, something like 8-10 more buildings were built. I do like that lone tall tower in Mobile, but Mobile needs several more highrises besides that one.

Tulsa, OK, or Fort Worth, TX?
I like Tulsa's better. It has taller, sleeker buildings and edges Ft Worth, for me. Ft Worth will grow faster though, most likely in the future, and should pass Tulsa in the next couple of decades.

But for right now, Tulsa is better.
Des Moines, IA or Oklahoma City, OK?
Des Moines is better due to being more balanced and having more attractively designed buildings.
San Francisco, as I like the variety of designs if high rises there. Miami is nice, but too many of it's high rises look glassy, and have a similar look.

Billings, MT, or El Paso, TX?
El Paso all the way. Their mountain and desert background setting, along with the new tower they built the last couple of years looks good.

Milwaukee, WI or Louisville, KY?
Two of my favorite cities. Love Louisville obviously I live here, but it just cant compete with the density and height of Milwaukee. Unfortunately for MKE if you google a skyline shot the most prominent view is from the lake shore which does little to capture it's true depth.
Here's a view of Milwaukee I took from the the west side of downtown which gives much better impression of it's actual Skyline. Even then this doesn't capture the whole thing.
Water front shots don't do a lot of cities justice. Same for Louisville. It looks more dense from the south than the typical riverfront shot taken from Indiana.

Next up Jackson MS, or Lansing MI
Lansing wins due to greater density and better placement of buildings. Both are charming, though.
Madison, WI or Wilmington, DE?
