I like the mountain backdrop for Reno, but this city needs 1) a LOT more buildings, and 2) a lot more density. And due to the lack of buildings and density, I can't give Reno the win here.

A new skyline battle that I don't think has ever been brought up here, before. Or at least if it ever once was brought up, I'm positive I've never in the past compared these 2 cities before in this thread: Bellingham, WA, or Juneau, AK?
Bellingham. Both have nice backdrops but I prefer Bellingham's cleaner architecture.

Jacksonville, FL or Salt Lake City, UT?

I'm going with Salt Lake City. More dense and robust overall in terms of density--and building new towers.

Salt Lake City or Phoenix?

Phoenix. I voted for it because the buildings are taller. Yellowknife NWT Canada or Colorado Springs CO?

I'm sorry but Yellowknife's skyline doesn't pop to me, the way the one does in Colorado Springs. I compared pictures of both places, and CS easily stood out of these 2 skylines. And also the mountain backdrop of that one, adds to my preference of the one in Colorado Springs. It also appears there is at least a little bit of new building construction there, where I'm not sure if as much is happening in Yellowknife.

Cheyenne, WY, or Boise, ID?

Cheyenne, WY, or Boise, ID?
Definitely Boise. Nice growing smaller skyline. Against the mountains is even prettier.

Knoxville, TN or Stamford, CT?

Stamford is nicer and more compact. I love New England architecture.

Cincinnati, OH or Oakland, CA?

I went with Cincinnati. More buildings and density. El Paso or Little Rock?

Little Rock because it looks more modern and has potential. Little Rock needs a few 300-400s to standout more.

St. Petersburg, FL or Lexington, KY?

St. Petersburg. You have to go pretty far out into the bay to really see the full skyline so a lot of pictures don’t do it justice. Ruskin has a good view from across the bay.

San Francisco or Vancouver, BC

San Francisco, by far, for me. San Francisco is iconic, and is only going taller and becoming more dense over time.

Vancouver has a phenomenal skyline as well, and their density is absolutely impressive. Exciting to watch this one too, but it is a notch below San Fran, in my opinion.

Vancouver, BC or Dallas, TX?
