Oakland. Looks more dense. San Diego or Cleveland?
San Diego for me--much more dense and compact, about twice the buildings as Cleveland. Cleveland has a couple of nice skyscrapers though, over 700 feet. But Cleveland needs a good 10-15 more to be where they should for their history and size.
Atlanta due to their multiple skylines making for a dramatic effect.
Nashville, TN or Pittsburgh, PA?
Well, as of 2022, Pittsburgh wins this match-up.
Pittsburgh has a beautiful skyline with great density, great height, and just really nice architecture with its buildings overall. It's one of my favorite skylines in the country.
Nashville needs some height, and they will get it with the 750 foot planned Giarattana YMCA Tower, hopefully to be finished in 2024/early 2025. This will push the skyline up, and will really make it become one of the better ones overall in the US for me, too. Right now, its density is booming and skyscrapers in the 300-500-ish range are springing up everywhere.
But Pittsburgh still wins, due to its height, density and aesthetics.

Pittsburgh, PA or Boston, MA?
Pittsburgh is more unique but Boston’s is much larger so Boston for me
Minneapolis or Philadelphia

Philadelphia. The city has great density and nice architecture.
Columbus, OH or Oklahoma City, OK?
Definitely Columbus, for me. It has some decent balance and decent height. It needs more density, but looks pretty good overall.
Oklahoma City's Devon Tower is just head-scratching to me. It's a nice tower, super tall and architecturally powerful.
But right now in Oklahoma City's skyline, it is very much out of place. Standing 844 feet tall, the closest tower to that height is the 500 foot tall BancFirst Tower, built in 1971.
And OKC only has 10 skyscrapers over 300 feet, total. It's a super unbalanced skyline, and the skyline needs to fill the gap between the 500 and 844 foot towers. They need at least 2 more to make it look incredible. If one @ 600 ft was added, and then another at 650-700 feet, it would look so much better. Then at the lower height level, another 8-10 are needed between 300-500 feet.
Two very similar cities with one large looming tallest tower: Omaha or Des Moines?

I'd say Omaha. Looks like it has a couple more taller buildings. Seattle or Boston?

Seattle for me. I think it has passed Boston. Seattle's skyline has grown nicely. I cannot wait to what it will look like in a few years.
Phoenix, AZ or Charlotte, NC?
