Dayton, OH, or Greensboro, NC?
Dayton is better. More compact and dense.

Tucson, AZ or Toledo, OH?

I prefer Toledo. I like the architecture and the water makes it look even better in my opinion. Lexington KY or Springfield MA?

Two somewhat close skylines.

But Springfield's is a bit more unique and has a "european" sort of flair to it, in a way. It's a bit more dense. Plus, Springfield's right on the river setting is much more beautiful, than Lexington's.

Springfield takes it.

Indianapolis, IN vs Nashville, TN?

Indianapolis, IN vs Nashville, TN?
Nashville wins even with shorter buildings. The skyline is massive when viewed from certain angles. A couple of proposed towers and the current YMCA tower will defeat Indianapolis's tallest. Indianapolis needs new towers.

Richmond, VA or Milwaukee, WI?

Agreed! Indy is vastly underwhelming, skyline wise.

Milwaukee beats Richmond. Milwaukee has several new towers and infill is happening. Add in the urbanity of Milwaukee that is bigger than Richmond, and Milwaukee comes out on top.

Kansas City, MO vs Louisville KY?

KC takes this. There are a lot more taller buildings there(say like when you look at buildings in both cities that are at least 30 stories), than say Louisville. I like Louisville's skyline, but I won't deny I like the one in KC better.

I don't know if these 2 have ever been compared here, so here goes. Phoenix, or Salt Lake City?

Salt Lake City for me. The mountains make it look even better and in my opinion, Phoenix skyline is underwhelming for it's size. Long Beach CA or Atlantic City NJ?

Atlantic City is more impressive. I believe it’s the smallest city in North America with a 200m+ skyscraper. Long Beach leaves a lot to be desired for a city of over 500K, as the second city of the second largest metro in the US although I’m aware it has built new high rises recently

Keeping the NJ vs California theme, Newark vs. Oakland

Oakland. The hills add more character.

Kalamazoo MI vs Manchester NH?

Close call. Kalamazoo looks more modern, but Manchester is more impressive. The buildings have a more intimidating presence. I also like that the water feature is more integrated.

Milwaukee, WI or Tampa, FL?
