Jackson Mississippi or Greenville South Carolina
Greenville due to having more infill and looking vibrant.

San Antonio, TX or Richmond, VA?

I like San Antonio a bit better, but not by much. They are very close.

Richmond, VA or Hartford, CT?

To be honest, I think I slightly prefer Richmond for its skyline. And the rocks and trees within the James River, plus the tree/forest look along the James River, all add to the look of Richmond's skyline. Though Hartford's skyline isn't bad, either. I don't like the parking garages, that show up in some of the Hartford pics I found.

Greenville, SC, or Asheville, NC?

Greenville looks like it's more dense and has taller buildings. Springfield MA or Shreveport LA?

Shreveport. Because I like that One Building that looks like Two. Let me google it. (Shreveport Regions Tower)



Honolulu Hawaii or Atlanta Georgia

The water and hills aside, I'll go with Atlanta. It has a lot more taller buildings, and the ones in Honolulu don't stand out as much.

Cities with a skyline with a waterfall within it: Spokane, WA, or Rochester, NY?

Spokane appears to be larger, however, the arrangement of buildings is more impressive as well as the architecture.

Minneapolis, MN or San Diego, CA?

Hmm, this is a tougher one for me. But I think I'll go with Minneapolis, barely. Minneapolis has a taller, more compact skyline that is growing decently well. San Diego has a lower-rising, but super dense skyline with a lot of buildings over 300 feet. It's a favorite of mine, but Minneapolis barely edges it here for me.

Minneapolis or Denver?

Another close call. Denver appears to be larger, but Minneapolis looks denser with better architecture, so Minneapolis wins.

Minneapolis or Pittsburgh?

Tough one! Two of my top 10 US skylines. Aesthetically, Pittsburgh is better. But Minneapolis has more towers, and is overall a bit taller.

I like Pittsburgh's better though--the layout, height, density and architecture is incredible with their skyline. Pittsburgh wins for me.

Pittsburgh vs Austin?
