Wilmington, DE or San Jose, CA?
Wilmington's Tallest Building is Taller than anything in San Jose, And that's Sad, San Jose's skyline is sad for it's size of 1 million. But thats because San Jose's Airport limits height Most buildings in Either Are Only around 200 feet, and this is actually a good comparison, But San Jose skyline looks More Modern, Mountain Backdrop and Has A Greater Capacity to Build new towers
Winner: San Jose


San Antonio vs Uptown Houston (Uptown Not Downtown)
*Uptown Houston features the Tallest Tower in the US outside a major CBD

Uptown Houston. More buildings, more potential, taller. San Antonio's skyline is kinda "messy" in my opinion. Too many radio towers and the Tower of Americas is just ugh.

Milwaukee or Tampa?

Milwaukee overall Looks Classic (70's-90's,)with few exceptions. Tampa looks more 2010ish, Nothing wrong with that, Sometimes We All Like the Classics, But Tampa skyline is more Shiny and Sparkly and Tampa has a easier time adding New Towers
Winner: Tampa


Nashville vs Uptown Houston (Uptown not Downtown)

Nashville vs Uptown Houston (Uptown not Downtown)
Nashville edges uptown Houston for density, and growth potential. Height still, uptown Houston gets the edge. But Nashville is building like wildfire, and will keep doing so over the course of the next few years. Nashville wins this one.

Hartford vs Louisville?

I picked Hartford. It may be a little shorter but looks like there are more buildings. Wichita KS or Spokane WA?

Spokane. Better urban bones and density. I like its presence among the rolling hills and forest. Wichita is rather underwhelming.

Pontiac, MI or Pensacola, FL?

Minneapolis imo. I like it's density of buildings better, & I think it looks better in more angles. Jersey City's buildings are nice, but they're spaced a bit apart & I would like more density outside of the Waterfront.

Charlotte vs Kansas City?

Charlotte vs Kansas City?
Easily Charlotte. Charlotte has almost 3 times as many skyscrapers as Kansas City, and much taller heights, as well. Kansas City should build a good 10 more skyscrapers downtown.

A more even matchup, I think, with both of these cities having 14 skyscrapers over 300 feet:

Kansas City vs Louisville?

Kansas City despite Louisville having better scenery. I like Kansas City's architecture and balance. Some new buildings for both would be great.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL or Columbus, OH?
